northstreet Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've just bought a second hand VX115 and want to disconnect the built-in horn. Seems straight forward enough to disconnect the wires, but my question is do I leave it open circuit or should I join the wires together? I'll be powering the cab through a Hartke LH500.

alexclaber Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I would generally disconnect a horn on the amp side of the crossover, as simply removing the horn could cause a short circuit across any shunt components in the crossover. If you can be sure than there is simply a series capacitor on the horn and no shunt components (inductors in parallel with horn) then you just disconnect the horn - leave the circuit open otherwise you'll end up with a super low impedance load at high frequencies which your amp will not like!
