When the head blew it wasn't hot or anything. I had it hooked up to an 8 10 when it blew. Didn't pop just shut off and smoked. The 8 10 isn't working now too. Not sure whats going on. Any help or trouble shooting will help. Going to take the head and speaker in to get fixed again, but am I hooking something up wrong? Any advise will help. Thanks. |
The bolded quotes are a little confusing; if you "just got the 2 15's re-coned" and it "Blew out one of my newly re-coned speakers", but you had the amp "hooked up to an 8 10 when it blew" that
TRULY is a perplexing problem.
It's
still under warranty? I would have thought the 5 year factory warranty would have run its course well before 2011; Was it NOS sitting at a dealer or something?
Regardless, that's great that you can get it repaired on someone else's money!
That story doesn't sound like it got very "fixed" when you had it in the shop.
I'd ask the warranty repair shop what's going on, tell them how you had it set up and so forth, and
also drop a note to the manufacturer saying that you already had the amp repaired under warranty and it blew up...
again; and, most importantly, who's going to pay for your blown cabinet(s).
They may have some ideas about what the problem is; your amp, your set up, or your authorized warranty repair shop.
I'd also see if Ripley's "Believe it or Not" is interested about how you blew a freshly reconed 15" speaker with an amp hooked up to a different cab at the time...
