Ordered a new woofer straight from polk (MW7018) after crackling in the right woofer. Installed it tonight and it doesnt seem like its producing any sound. The left woofer and the tweeter work but nothing from the new woofer. Any thoughts? The red wire is hooked on the side with the red dot.

The problem may not have been the woofer, it may be the crossover. A simple test, swap the left and right woofers.Political Correctness'.........defined

Its just weird that the other one before i took it out was at least making sounds and was crackling too.

Lots of weird things happen in this hobby. Swap them and report back.Political Correctness'.........defined

Yes, test the woofers. i would pull out all three and test them one by one connected direct to the amp avr at low volume....this takes the crossover out of play. This way you can listen for noise from the motor. You should be able to better find the issue with the driver.
If all three drivers turn out to be ok, then you will know that there is a problem with the crossover. If so, pull the crossover out and give it a visual inspection. Look for bad solder joints or charred componenets or traces on the circuit board.2.2 Office Setup | LG 29UB55 21:9 UltraWide | HP Probook 630 G8 | Dell Latitude | Cabasse Stream Amp 100 | Boston Acoustics VS 240 | AUDIORAX Desk Stands | Mirage Omni S8 sub1 | Mirage Omni S8 Sub2
