Anyone know how to remove the crossover from the RF-25?

Quick update. When I put the two multimeter post to each tweeter speaker terminal I get 3.0 on one, which would be 3 ohms and correct if I understand this. The second one I couldn't get anything from. Either way neither of them made any noice when hooked up in the speaker. Now I have no idea if it's the speaker or the crossover. I can't seem to get any reading from the cross over, but then again I don't have but barely a clue on how to use this meter.

I don't think I made myself clear. I tested the wires coming from the crossover to make sure the crossover wasn't fried. I have done any test on the tweeter. I got the .4 from the crossover. I recently traded for these speakers, and have a feeling the guy knew they were bad. I haven't played any sort of loud music through them. I was using them as front surrounds, so only listened to them at regular volumes. I know have some wf-35's, and was going to use the RF's as surrounds. Once I got them away from the center I noticed they were very muddy sounding. I then took a book to cover the top woofer and noticed no sound from the tweeter. I removed the tweeter from the lead wires when I tested the crossover. I then took the red, and black post of the meters, and touched to the green wire, and then the black wire. I did this with both speakers and both of them read .4 on all four wires. I didn't know I could test the tweeter, and not real sure how. I'm guessing I touch the post to the place where the wires clip on. I'm new to using this meter, and to any of this voltage/meter/resistor stuff. I had these hooked up through the bottom post of each speaker, with the Z looking clamps on the speaker post. Even then I had no sound. I'm not real sure what the feed cup is. If the feed wires are the wires that come from the crossover and hook onto the tweeter I did disconnect those. When testing the wires that come from the cross over to the tweeter should those read .4? How exactly am I suppose to connect the multimeter to the speaker, and the wires leading to the cross over?

Anyone know the resistance/ohms of the RF-25? I believe the two tweeters in my pair of RF-25's are dead. I took them out today, and checked the resistance/ohms. Not sure of the terminology. I came up with a reading of .4 on both sides. I was wondering if that sounds right, and what exactly does that .4 mean. I'm pretty confident that crossovers are good with that reading, but wanting to check and make sure what it's all about.

Anything I need to know about changing out the tweeters? I just ordered two, and looking forward to getting these back to life. The woofers sound great, but it's very muddy without those highs. When taking the cover off I noticed the tweeter also had the large piece of plastic around it. Does that come off? If so how? I didn't seem to notice a way to take it off. How about pulling the wires off the tweeter? Gently pull them off with fingers, or some pliers? I've never switched speakers out before so I just want to make sure, because I don't want to do more damage than what I started with.

I took the cover off to find everything seemed hooked up. I even tried another receiver and no luck. I guess ordering new tweeters is the only option. I was suprised of the size. Anything I should check before ordering?

Do you take the screws out of the front of the speaker in order to get to it? I'm guessing so seeing there is no screws on the back of the speaker.

Hello all!! Thanks for such a wonderful forum with an amazing amount of knowledge. I traded some KG 4's to a set of RF-25, and noticed over the weekend that I have no sound from either tweeter at all. It really has me puzzled, and seeing I have no tech skills I'm not sure what to do. I do find it odd that both have no sound at all. It makes me think it's something other than the speakers. User error probably. The metal clips are in place in order to complete the channel path. I do not if those are not in place you'll lose sound from the horn if connected to the bottom post. I did remove the brackets, and hooked the speaker up to the top post to see if I could get any sound from the horn that way, and no such luck. Guess it pays to listen to the speakers first before trading or buying. I guess I think people are as honest as I am at times and it gets the best of me. Any way any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have read on here that it's most likely the cross over/drivers? i have contacted klipsch about getting replacements, an the cost, but I also read those are on major back order. Thank everyone for reading!!
