in Troubleshooting
Just picked up a pair of LSI9's and one of the tweeters output is weak.

I swapped them over and its not the tweeter so i pulled out the Xover but i cant see anything obviously wrong. No burnt resistors or caps. it all looks pretty good.

Anyone got some advice please?

Cheers
Brad

    I have also checked the jumpers and they are connected correctly.

    I would measure the tweeter with a multi meter and see if it is still good. My SL2000 had a dull or weak output sound because it was blown. Not sure of what the measurements would need to read but im sure Polk CS could tell you.

    Thanks Codycatalist. Like I said I have swapped the tweeters between the speakers and nothing changes. So I'm assuming its not the tweeter itself. There is sound coming from the tweeter but its not extended like the other speaker. Its sounds muffled.

    You've got a bad resistor. You can't always go by appearance.
