Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hey guys A friend of mine needs some help here. He's got an Ampeg USA SVT 410 HE cabinet but recently, his tweeter stopped working. From what we both read on the net, it seems like the Crossover fuse could of been driven a bit too hard and it's blown. He asked me to take a look but I didn't want to until I knew what the problem would be. Can any one advise us on what the most likely reason for this is? Also, if it is a blown fuse/bulb, is this easy to replace and where could I get one for it? Just so you know, i do all the work on his basses and amps which is why i'm asking about it Thanks and any help will be appreciated.

nugget Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm no expert on cabs so this might be a load of crap...... I had a genz cab blow the bulb, contacted Genz to se why there was a light bulb in the cab and hey said they do blow if you get a spike in high freq eg unplugging cable from bass with amp on Whip it out and go down Halfords in the car bulb section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 No no, any advise is welcome bud so it's not crap that seems like it's likely what happened as he runs a lot of treble on his amp and never turns off his volume before unplugging his bass. Combined with running high gain that probably did it. I'll see if i can find any tweeter fuses on the net as well if he can't make it to a halfords. Again, thanks for your reply Nugget! If any one else has a inkling as to something else it could be, please advise me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Nah there's no light coming from it. He didn't notice any glowing before either. The tweeter has just stopped making a sound. That does look cool in that video though haha.
