Epic CF 3 Crossover Issue - Please Help!

Recommended Posts

While playing music today I noticed that the low frequency (woofers) were not sounding right in one speaker so I played the Stereophile CD 3 test CD to test the low frequencies and found that both woofers on one speaker is sounding bad. Bad meaning some cutting in and out and some strange sounds (can't describe it) which also cuts in and out. So, I switched speakers and the other one sounded fine so I traced the issue to the speaker not the electronics. I checked all the connections to make sure everything was well connected and it seemed to be.

I then took the crossover out for an inspection and noticed that on the low frequency board, the thin white pencil looking item marked 10W 5 ohm J had what looked like a burn mark under it (the side on the board). I assume this is not normal. Could this pencil thin item malfunctioning cause the woofers to cut in and out and produce strange noises?
