Members Benjamin Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 I ripped my horn out last night! Well, I didn't rip it out, I simply disconnected the wires and put the thing back in again. I had a resistor on the thing on the advice of a friend, which seemed to work, but it was scary seeing the melted wires and heat damage. Obviously it has been getting a punshing. To say my tone is a million times better is an understatement! I have dialled some of the mid-highs and highs back in to bring things back, and it still sounds better, but not quite. I am thinking I would like to replace the horn with a 5" speaker, as some of you have. Given the following speaker configuration, what will I need in terms of 5" speaker and crossover etc? 4x10" Eminence Beta (150W), 4ohm each, wired in dual series/parallel for 4ohm total cabinet load. The horn was connected up from one of the speakers. All parts I will source through a local electronics outlet if possible.

Members DanTolen Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm thinking about taking out the tweeter on my amp. Fender Rumble 100. The damn tweeter crackles and sounds like crap. Would I be able to disconnect it without screwing up my amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted October 12, 2005 Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 Most tweeters are, I believe, no-load devices. Disconnecting the wires should be all thats necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DanTolen Posted October 12, 2005 Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 I just disconnected the horn off of my Rumble combo. Theres no more annoying buzz/ crackle distortion and it's not as harsh on the high end. Good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Benjamin Posted October 12, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2005 Cool Dan! I am quite happy to persevere as things are, however I would like just a little more glass and snap. We need to start or join the NO HORN CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't disconnect the horn on my Avatar but its turned all the way off. The Ashdown doesn't get used for anything, if it did it'd be snipped!
