Peavey CS800 speaker output ?

Sorry.
I can't answer that one.
I don't work on chance
I am an amateur scientist
"Just the facts ma'am."
( Man I loved that show )
But, if the sound coming out of either channel is not distorted, then you are well on your way.
It is the fact that you are not even close to driving the amp to full power that would lead me to say the amp is not properly tested.
(again, that is just me)

Wow..yeah I remember that show...HAD to watch that ..one of dads shows...I wish I had a better way to drive the amp ,but I just don't think I have much more to work with. I have a cd player , but I don't have the 1/4 inch plugs.

Do you have any "gator clip" jumper wires?
The Cd plug is tip, ring, sleeve (from the top down, in that order)
The tip & ring are the positive output connections. Right & Left channels.
You only need one.
The sleeve is 0 volts (ground).
The 1/4 input cord is tip (positive) & sleeve (ground)
Have at it.

Got a guitar cord? Plug it into the CS800, and plug an RCA cord into the CD player. Spin the cover off the free end of the guitar cord. Now use a couple clip wires to connect the two cords together.

Or go to Radio SHack or some place and get a couple of those little adaptors you put on the end of an RCA cord to make 1/4" males. Use the regular cord the CD player uses.

You got volume controls? TUrn them down. COnnect the test signal to one channel and the speaker to the output, then turn the volume up slowly. If it sounds too loud for the speaker, stop turning it up.

Just because someone SAID a channel didn;t work doesn;t mean it is true. Lots of people THINK something is broken, when the problem really is elsewhere.


If I have a guitar around my neck, I might use it to test the basic function of an amp like this, but I would not expect it to drive the thing to anywhere near full power.

Thank you Enzo ,and Jazz . Sometimes I think my brain is just fried...and not from drugs...just from over thinking....I may actually have a Y cord somewhere...just need to find it. Thanks again..I'll give this another go.

[gtrplayr1976]

OK...found my Y cable , hooked up the cd player ,and both channels play. Speaker isn't much but it works.

Thanks gentlemen.
