Sign in to disble this ad
I recently bought an old Peavey 2x15 cab and ive found that the cone on one of the speakers has split. I bought it off a friend very cheaply because he hadnt used it in 2 years and it was just sitting in his basement.
I was wondering if there was any way of fixing this? or would i have to buy a new speaker?
thankyou for your help

| That's the best option. That crack was probably caused by a coil smack, so the cone damage is only the tip of the iceberg, the coil is probably damaged as well. |

Directions at the bottom page of this if you need them. http://www.peavey.com/assets/literat...s/80300801.pdf
