Hey thanks for your replys guys, very very helpful, & a great help,,the AR2ax,, speakers I brought on-line arrived yesterday, hooked up to my amp, & had a quick listen to them, one sounded all good all drivers working on that one, Ahh, but the other one,, different story,, woofer all good,, midrange all gd,, but nothing from the tweeter,, I am hoping that the L/pad for that tweeter is producing a dead short to the tweeter,, & not a cooked tweeter,, haven't pulled the woofers out yet to check the capacitor's,, to see if the capacitor's have been changed out at all, but to my delight when they turned up & I took the covers off, factory Velcro covers, ,so that was easy, thank heaven's,, but the woofers have been , refoamed so that saves me one expense,, don't know weather to bother having a go cleaning up the old L/pads,, or just getting the L/pads from parts express along with those 2 resistors,, , what do you guys think, since you have more experience than me with these, thanks ken.
