Sign in to disble this ad
So I recently got a bergantino HS410 which I picked up and got a good deal but there's a catch after playing with it a few hours a bobbin fell on the bottom of this amp.. I'm not sure what is it so I'm asking you guys what it is..
So here's a picture: (Sorry for low resolution image)
Is it an easy fix?

Depending on how its connected, repair could involve some soldering and that inductor may need to be replaced. Probably best to have the crossover replaced or repaired by Bergantino or or an authorized shop.

Cause there's no bobbin popping outside the bobbin case.. Just the cable that should be soldered.. |

If you're good with soldering and have some sealant, perhaps you can just resolder it and secure it with wire and sealant.
