So I've been pulling apart some used EAW fr159z speakers in order to load them up with new drivers. Apparently one of them has a bad crossover. I verified by swapping the part with the other box, and that one worked fine.
Interestingly, it has the same symptoms as one of the bad woofers. That is, when driven should be wearing the lower level, they are very quiet. Very mid range E, not a lot below 200 Hz
The one speaker seems to be fine – no stripped wires, no seized cone. Thoughts on what that could be?
The crossover yield the same results – even with a working woofer- very quiet output even when pushed with an itech 4000. Obviously nothing above 2K-ish, but also nothing below 200 Hz ish.
Replacement woofer is already been ordered, and I have a local guy who is great with EAW Who can hopefully fix the crossover. But I'm curious – what could be the problems?
