klipsch1 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 The speakers are consecutive numbers . I bought them without testing because the lady said her husband had them since new and he passed away recently and that’s why she was selling . They are in very good condition except for this issue that I’m having . Plus she didn’t have them hooked up to any amp when I was there.

klipsch1 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I don’t think I should send them back . They are very nice . Maybe the husband had issue with the cap on one of the crossovers so he changed the cap on one but not on the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 As long as you are fine with them cosmetically, everything else is just a matter of getting it wired right. These guys will get you working in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipsch1 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 They are 9.5 out of 10 I would say cosmetics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 You know you have a split network, right? The low pass (low frequency) parts are inside the bass bin, on the other side of the door. Hook everything up normally, and troubleshoot one speaker at a time. You got a balance knob on that fancy Mac? When you get everything hooked up, turn the balance knob to the left. We’ll do that speaker first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipsch1 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 The amp is left and right channel. The problem with the left speaker is the fuse holder keeps coming out as soon as I tighten it , so I can only tighten it half way and then all the drivers work on that speaker. But on the right side I can’t get any sound at all, but if I connect the speaker cable from the amp direct to the upper section then the tweeter and mid work.

Deang Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Is the fuse holder cracked? Why won’t it stay tight? On the other speaker, do you get anything if you wiggle the banana plugs for the wiring going to the top section of the network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Isn't it strange that the two XO's are laid out differently... one appears to have been modified. Not that that is the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah, it is weird. I don’t know what the deal is there. I love the soldering, which looks like it was done with a propane torch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Uh, yeah. I know all that. The idea is to take him through a step at a time. You’re certainly welcome to take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I’m sure he can see that there are two fuse holders. I mean, they’re right on top of each other. I doubt that the woofer is blown. The AK-3 is a good design, poorly implemented. They are nortorious for having bad solder joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
