GK 2X10 cab Problems

Sign in to disble this ad
so when I turn on the horn in my 2x10 cab it makes an awful hiss and it doesn't add any highs or anything. So all that turning the horn on is doing for me is adding a nasty hiss so I'm at a loss, is there maybe a connection loose? any thing else that you can guys can think off. should I just try and return it.

looking forward to your responses

Hiss is sourced by the amp. All the tweeter does is reproduce it, it doesn't create it.

Try moving around the room with everything on and a bass plugged in (and on you) and see if the hiss changes with your position. Could be as simple as a shielding issue.
