tom b. 57 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I am thinking about picking up a pair of these for a very good price. One speaker has an issue. According to the seller one speaker sometimes has no sound until you give it a bump. Sounds to me like a loose wire or something similar. If it is a simple connection problem, I can comfortably attend to this. What else could be the issue? Could this be a binding post issue? Any thoughts or ideas? I plan on looking at them tonight.

dtr20 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Maybe needs a recap on the crossovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 OK, I picked up the 5.5's. The seller said that if you bumped one speaker it would cut out. I tried and tried and could not get it to duplicate this issue. It does seem like the tweeter in one is not as loud and the other, but it is working. Never come across this before. Any ideas? Xover?

The History Kid Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 A way to test if it's the Xover or the tweeter is to swap the tweeters between the speaker that functions fine and the one that is having issues. If the issue persists it is a crossover issue, if it does not it is a problem with the tweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Thank you, I should have done that already. Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 The tweeters seem to be working fine. Played them for a week now and no problems. Must have just been my hearing and maybe the previous owner didn't have the binding posts tightened Oh well. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
