Post subject:  SPEAKER MAINTENANCE (PEAVEY)
I was at the local music store this weekend talking to one of the sales guys who also does repair & he said it is a good idea if you own peavey speakers to take them apart every six months to a year & clean them. especially the part around the voice coils.(where the magnet slips into the voice coil, he said dirt & grim can collect & distort the sound). I own peavey sp-5xt (about 20 years old)& they were starting to sound "muddled", so i took them apart & cleaned them & one sounds much better & the other sounds worse? could i have put it back together wrong? i am very mechanically enclined & it did not seem that hard, so could i have tightened the screws that hold the magnet on too tight? any help would greatly be appreciated.!! :)

For me, equipment maintenance - from the plug in the wall to the speakers, players, amps, wires, microphones need to be maintained. I take my speakers apart once a year (should be more) because the woofer screws tend to back out. (JBL Eon)

I cannot stress enough equipment maintenance -

Mustang,

Check if you have the phase correct.. (positive to positive - negative to negative .. and high to high and low to low) another idea is to see if maybe you didn't crush the voice coils in re-assembly..

I have done all the above before.. it's all part of the learning process.. :oops: with peavey's most of the time you won't do any immediate damage.

Just take your time doing it.. :wink:

PS look at the coils carefully incase you burned one too.. :wink:
