Polk towers, 11 circa 1989 Blown

My high school son had a party and the speakers no longer have any volume.
Do I throw them out ?

    Going to need to do some troubleshooting. Have you tried a known working speaker to make sure it's not the electronics?

    Do NOT toss them. If you're going to take the loss instead of repairing them, karma them to someone who will repair them.

    That being said, first let's make sure the MWs are not seized, and then do a continuity check across each of the 3 driver coils. If all checks good there, we need to look at the XOs.

    Now that's my kind of party. :*
    Agree lets see if we can get to the bottom of this first, then you can make an informed decision.

    They have served you well. Time to get new speakers, Check out Polk's Signature Series.

    If you get them, tell your son they are off limits to him without you being present to make sure they stay in operable condition!
