Well, One of the reasons is that when I got these I knew they were mistreated. But it was such a good deal I thought I would get them and clean them up. I just had no idea that they were going to be as bad as they are. And they are / were really bad.
The crossover on one had a dead mouse still knotted up inside. So my guess is that it met with an untimely death and took out part of the crossover in the process. The middle woofer and tweeter are still working. Just not the bottom one. I have not gone thru everything on the speakers yet but I will over this weekend. Or at least as much as I can w/o breaking anything. Still trying to get the bottom woofer out.
