Restoration Project: Peavey 1516 Enclosure

[Cnivek61]

I am considering a restoration / rebuild project on an older Peavey 1516 cab; 400W, 4 ohm, 600 Hz crossover. Both 8" speakers are torn and the original wiring config (Normal/Full Range; Bi-Amp) was replaced with a single 1/4" jack. My goal is to restore the original wiring configuration and repair or replace the 8" drivers. The 15" seems to be intact.

I am looking for:

• original Peavey wiring schematic;
• advice from others who have restored similar cabs;
• sources for re-coning kits and used replacement speakers;
• links to good DIY sites for cabinet/crossover design.

Thanks!
Kevin

I got a empty one in my garage. Would love to see it up and running some day. But several cabs purchases later, I don't think that's gonna happen.
Good Luck on your restoration.
