    Check the other thread. I think he sold them already and most likely the voice coils were trashed due to some high current flow, maybe a lightning strike or amplifier malfunction. Do you have any plans on how to fix MW's with bad voice coils. We know you can fix the tweeters and make them better to boot ;)

    Maybe I spoke too soon.
    I'd taken the MW drivers as long as they ohm out....

    Ha ha these sound strangely familiar. Most likely all 3 drivers are blown in the speaker that doesn't work.

    You are correct. I took a chance on them, and all three are indeed blown.
    I think they're a bigger project than I want to tackle at the moment. If anyone in the area wants them for parts, let me know.

    Thanks!
    You're probably right. They could be a decent starting point for a full rebuild. Gonna need to shop for a lot of parts.

    I see the crossovers fairly often on eBay. You may have a damaged inductor or two in that speaker that doesn't work, in addition to fried voice coils in all the drivers. The SDA 2B and the CRS+ use the same crossovers. You could probably find an inductor with the same inductance and resistance and you could replace them in matched pairs on both XO's also if you wanted.

    Do the MWs even ohm out or are they open/shorted?

    ALL drivers in the bad speaker read open. Unfortunately, the 6511 in the working speaker has also been replaced with a 6500 at some point in time.

    That's too bad. Definitely not interchangeable. Maybe you should start a new thread so we don't hijack this one.

    Picked them up a couple of days ago, nice looking speakers. The seller was the original owner, said he bought them new in 92. The ad said OBO so he took my 30 dollar offer.

    Thanks for posting Ryan.hlpiq648ve6o.jpg

    Wow! Congratulations!

    This is one of the only things I miss about living in SoCal. You can keep the traffic and beaches.

    I just want the brews and audio deals....and maybe mountain/canyon roads, the 1 from SLO to Monterey, bomb burritos, abundant nightlife. Maybe San Diego wasn't so bad?

    Here's a pair of 10A's in Stanhope, NJ. Typical NJ prices but seller accepting offers. He has modded the XO's with Jantzen metallized film / Mills and replaced the damaged Peerless with SL1000's. These would be great for anybody with a pair of Peerless sitting around, or someone who wants to do the 10 SDA mod with the 2B/CRS+ crossover swap. He says 10B in the desc., but the serial tag says 10A. Go figure.
