CsiA6 No Driver or Tweeter

As the title suggests, my CsiA6 No Driver or Tweeter. Only 1 driver working, no left driver or tweeter. Polk already replaced both drivers and tweeter. Worked great for a couple weeks but now only 1 driver working. I have 1 new driver to try but feel that it may be a connection somewhere. I use Emotiva Pro cables and have used speaker wire also to test. Maybe jumpers? Any and all suggestions would be great! Sounds terrible like this and am using 7 channel enhancer on my rx- v765 to get by until this is fixed. I have swapped to left channel to confirm it is the csia6. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration...

I mean I have tried standard speaker cables and also Emotiva Pro cables both with same results. -
Yeah, it'd be an idea to check the jumper straps and all binding post nuts to assure tightness and complete connections, it's the first thing to check.
I checked the straps and tightness and have seen no changes. I can't seem to figure this out for the life of me. Is it safe to mess with connections while the system is on? -

I wouldn't do that....
But i would pull the drivers and ohm them out to see if they show anything. Have you looked at the crossover board to see if any thing is discolored? -

I just made a couple jumpers, no difference. I then pulled both the driver and tweeter to check connections and tightened them with pliers. I still get nothing from the tweeter but it seems the left driver is working now but very low compared to the right driver. Tomorrow I'll run YPAO and recalibrate the system. If that doesn't work I'll have to send it back and have it replaced by Polk. I've had quite a few problems with their speakers unfortunately. Although they have been very good about replacing parts without question or sending back the faulty equipment. I've always used Klipsch before this setup and loved their sound but the RTI A's caught my eye for aesthetics. They look great in my room and match my cabinet. -

The two drivers play different frequency ranges, which is likely what you're hearing now.
Pull the binding post plate to inspect the crossover. You're looking for a cooked resistor.Political Correctness'.........defined

Thanks, I'll check it out in the morning and get back to you. If it is the resistor what would you suggest? I'd love to know what is causing the issue. I have it run off an Emotiva XPA- 100 that is rated for exactly the specs of the CSI- A6. I never crank up the system. I built the system way more powerful than I'll ever utilize. My SVS PB- 2000 shakes the entire house and I have tenants above me.

Are you using an AVR?
If so, what xover settings on the AVR are you using?
Have you forgotten to turn sub on when listening or watching a movie?

I usually set my AVR (RXV- 765) at 60 but have tried 80. CSIA6 is good down to 45. Sub stays in standby with power on.
