Hello everyone, new guy but longtime Polk fan...Recently picked up a pair of 10b's...typical dings here and there but nice overall...My question is that I thought all 10's had a fuse on the back of the crossover...these dont...

Do I need to open these up and see whats going on...?

Thanks

Brent

P.S. is there anything i can use to rehydrate the rubber surrounds...? or should i just leave them alone...?

Thanks again

    The fuse is for the tweeter if you didn't know that already but there is not a place for a fuse on the 10B model. The 10B has what is known as a Polyswitch on the crossover. Is the tweeter(s) not working?

    Other than cleaning the oxidization with real Windex, do NOT put anything else on them, period.
