greyeyezz Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Little radios🙁. I pulled the woofer and nothing looks strange, crossover's don't look burned. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Check to be sure the surrounds are intact all the way around and that the cabinet is sealed. With everything together, carefully push the woofer cone in and it should return fairly slowly, not immediately. Be sure it's not something other than the speakers, too. Can you hear anything, at all, from the woofers? Also, just because the crossovers look OK, it doesn't mean they are. The components need to be checked.

JKent Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Is it one speaker or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyeyezz Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 I put some power to both, one if I push on the cone I get sound for a second then it cuts out, the other nothing. Pushing on the cones I don't feel any rubbing and they come back slowly, surround are good. I think burned up voice coils? I might scrap this pair as the cabinets had some water damage and were rough shape but they sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Have you tried another amp? Or different speakers with that amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug G. Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 So, basically, the woofers aren't working. Is that what you are saying? If that's the case, that would explain the "transistor radio" sound. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyeyezz Posted April 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 They are not working, only one intermittently as described in post #4, the question remains why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 How about if you remove the woofers and connect directly to each one? If it's still dead or intermittent they're probably toast. If you like the speakers maybe send the dead woofs to Bill LeGall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyeyezz Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 You mean run my speaker wires directly to the terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes--not too loud but it will tell you if they work (but it sounds like they're toast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
