Should I test it?

[NKR]

Managed to pick up a booking for tomorrow and not a bad one.

However, last outing when unloading my cabs I managed to drop one on its back. Not from a large height, I was attempting to pivot it onto its back and dropped it from about 15cm, but it still made a bit of a thud.

Would you rig it up before going out and leave it running a bit to see if the magnet has displaced and is going to heat up and die, or just take it out as a small knock shouldn't make a difference.

Am i just being paranoid?

if your worried about it why you asking now and not earlier in the week? if its not working what can you do now?

I'd of tested it there and then

What at 2:15 am in the back of my transport on my driveway?

If its not working I have other options, its just the hassle of dragging reserve cabs out. I will take a reserve cab with me. If it dies I will throw another one up. Okay just answered my own question.

I didn't ask earlier in the week as the OP says - I have managed to pick up a job - ie it has just come through. I thought I had until end of November to get it tested and would have done it last weekend but weather meant getting the trailer out would have been a real pain.

I did a worse one than that. :o Dropped a big Class D off another one! :eek: The weight of the HF driver broke the mounting. Cost me £10 and a trip to Mansfield.

I'd have tested it at the first chance I had.
Like Neil mentioned, it'd be at the back of mind, wondering if it will work or not.

If you carry spare cabs, I wouldn't bother testing it.

However, if you don't, it's essential you run it up.

Personally, I'd still test it even if I'd dropped it from half the height you did, as I don't like any nasty surprises.

my sub has wheels on it, so i put the two speakers on it and push the whole lot out of halls. a few weeks ago a wheel got stuck on a rubber mat and one speaker fell off.
The magnet came off the driver completely, cost me £130 to replace. That was more than id made at the 2 hour kids party id been doing :(

Am I the only one wondering why? Is it really necessary to ask the other members?

If you're that concerned... Test it!!!!

I hope it's not damaged, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you dont end up with a bill. But i'm sure you can make a simple decision like that yourself.

I just like to natter and its a forum, so I asked the question. The same reason why I sometimes ask my mates innane pointless questions that I could make my mind up for myself on. Its just purely for a natter and to see what people think.

It worked fine. Ohm RW3 - good old Celestian drivers. Bomb proof.
