Step 1 – Remove the speaker grill.
The speaker grill is held on with velcro-type fixings. Carefully lever
of the front cover to expose the speaker and fixings. |
|
Step 2 – Remove the speaker.
Lay the cabinet on its back and remove the screws holding the speaker
in place.
Lift the speaker and either note or mark the polarity of the speaker
connections.

|
Step 3 – Check the speaker is the cause of
the problem
Hook up a known good speaker to the output from the Peavey. You don't
have to remove the amp as shown here . I hooked my Peavey up to an old
Marshall 4 x 12.

Step
4 – Remove the magnet and inspect the cone.
To remove the magnet, undo the three fixing bolts and carefully lift
the magnet off squarely. Inspect the coil. In my case you can see where
the coil was rubbing against the magnet. |
|
Step 5 – Note the basket model number.
If you've concluded the speaker is at fault, make a note of the model
number details on the side of the old basket. Order a replacement from
Peavey.

|
Step 6 – Unpack and fit the new basket
Clear a working space and remove any metal objects. Clean out the
groove in the existing magnet as described in the instructions. I
practiced the next step with the old speaker first. Place the
magnet face up and carefully lower the basket over the coil.
Be very careful not to damage the coil. Turn the assembly over and
re-fit the magnet securing bolts. |
|
Step 7 – Fit the speaker.
Re-connect the speaker connections, noting the polarity. Fit the
speaker into the cabinet and secure all the screws.
