    Thanks! I'm looking for one more pair of Heresy, yes. Keeping an eye out on the garage here, reverb, ebay

    You could start a wtbuy in the garage sale here. You just missed some Heresy 2 in the alerts section by garage sale.

    Opened the fuse holders and found corrosion in the springs, cleaned and sanded with 400 grit and the woofer and mid are back-  tweeter is now there but low output- it ohms out at 7.6 ohms.    Wiggled the polyswitch and no difference.  

    Look for more corrosion, cool. Got any electronic contact spray , example deoxit or crc...

    other speaker is sounding great- funny part is the one that sounds great has water damage and rust on box and grill, the one that sounds bad looks much better.    go figure...  

    Corrosion connection can be a problem from crossover to speakers like you know. Polyswitch damage may be answer. Can you bypass the switch...

    Hi all, 

     

    I got a pair of 301-A this weekend- when I got them the tweeter had zero output at all.  They have the KP-3.0B crossover

     

    I took the tweeter and woofer out when I got home and checked continuity of all the drivers and none showed open- the polyswitch showed about 1.5 ohms when I checked it so I think it is working but perhaps has been set off a few times based on what I've read here about resistance going up after they have been triggered?   

     

    I then went straight to each driver from the amp at a very low volume and confirmed all of them are outputting, then put it all back together, and now- only the mid has output- no woofer or tweeter output.   

     

    I'm quite sure my connections are solid off the crossover, I took a pic of it before and after and also wrote down the connections so it should be the same as it was when I opened the box. 

     

    I want to test the crossover, but have never done so and wonder if the caps can be tested in the circuit or do they need to be removed before hand?  From all I've read here the inductors are not going to an issue, and the resistors look fine with no sign of getting hot or scorching  

     

    I checked fuses and they are fine- stumped on next step.    I'm not a total idiot but frankly I've never understood crossovers so am in the dark here. 

     

    Suggestions?   

     

     

    Guess other speaker alright.

    Dean, others talking about poly switch recently. Guess you verified any connection on crossover by physically using screwdriver to un and retighten.
