Blown Speaker?

[bobman360]

So I just got a Peavey standard head and a band/bassmaster 2x12 cab, and they worked fine in the store but I'm having some issues with one of the speakers now. At lower volumes one speaker produces no noise but when I turn the volume up it makes a crackling/buzzing and makes noise kinda sporadically. I'm just assuming it's a blown voice coil, but if anyone has more knowledge they'd like to share I'd love to hear.

Hi,
The peavey standard is 130 watts @ 4 ohms. The speakers in a bandmaster cab (depending on era, 60's, 70's) are'nt that powerful, so it's totally possible you cooked one.

Open up the back of the cab and tell us what spewakers are in there. Good luck!

I already did, looks like the're utahs. Thanks!

Yea, you blew one (or it died a natural death, the Utahs weren't anything to write home about, the Emis of the 80s and beyond were far far better speakers).

Not sure that cab will work real well with that head given wattage disparity, although at this point you're going to be replacing one speaker, might as well do two!
