PV series power amplifiers common issue, i suggest that before you go to spend tons of hard-earned money to a tech shop go to radio shack, buy a cleaner spray solution and clean ALL the back switches, including Stereo/Bridge switch, then check the two green light light up at front and verify functionality as well, let me know your results.

Slide pots for PV14 mixer

The pot needs to be cleaned. Get a spraty can of DeOxit 5. Spray it into the track and move the slider up and down a number of times. If that doesn't fix it, replace the slide pot.

I have a Peavey PV 115 Speaker...The horn works and the fuses are good ..The wiring looks and feel tight BUT the 15" speaker will not work...Any ideas ???

Check the resistance across the woofer connection points. Using an ohmmeter, you should se around 6 to 8 ohms. If there is no continuity, you have a blown speaker.

I have a PV 18"

I do not understand what you mean by "removing the jack assembly". If you mean you leave it connected but hanging out, the problem is LIKELY you are driving it too hard and the protector is activating. Having it outside would cool the protector. You need to evaluate how much you are sending to this cabinet and see if it is within the ratings. This is a VERY compact speaker rated at 800 Watts peak and 400 Watts PROGRAM... read that as using a 200 Watt RMS amp driving it... for safety. There is a chance that the connections to the speaker are loose and removing the jack puts a load on the connectors... they are probably some of those lousy push on connectors... This is the best plan: Use a sound level meter to make sure you are not exceeding the 118 Db sound pressure level the speaker is capable of. Realize that the kick drum puts pulse type load into the speaker. Most likely you are tripping the PTC speaker protection circuit that is probably located on the jack assembly... the PTC will typically be a disc about the size of a quarter with two leads. It heats up and opens the speaker circuit until it cools down... takes a few seconds. In free air it might not trip due to air cooling. DO NOT drive your speakers too hard... they are EXPENSIVE to replace. If you need more sound put another speaker in parallel. I know a lot of deaf musicians so get a meter and check the SPL... You want to keep it around 85 to 90 Db with peaks that can go to a little over 100. There are OSHA limits. Read up on hearing loss...

My 2 pv 2600 amps have the same problem.all toroidal transforsmers busted.no smell or signs of over heating or over used.i found a cut or open wire on the windings.what causes the cut or open to the...

Mis-handling is the usual cause of this. This can also occur if the clamps don't hold and the transformer slides around. OFTEN you can splice in a short piece of magnet wire to repair these. Splice and insulate well.

I've been searching for best sound equipments

Look for reliability foremost. Read reviews.

Look at used equipment for defective items. If you see a lot of broken brand "X" you can be sure they are failure prone.

Find these at eBay and also Musiciansfriend used department. Read descriptions looking for things like "not working", etc.
