Can someone confirm ...

RT5's were being sold with disclosure of a blown tweeter. On swapping the tweeters between the two, neither worked. (I know... neither/nor.) On checking the crossovers, the one originally with the non-working tweeter has a burnt-looking coil and resistor, unlike the other, though the caps look ok.

Since one tweeter worked until swapped, I'm thinking I need one tweeter (SL5501) and one crossover (RT5.) Can someone confirm this or let me know what else I should check and how?

Thank you in advance. :)

    Guess the title should have been "Would someone please confirm..."

    I believe you are correct. On the off chance that the non-working tweeter might be okay you could try it connected to the second working speaker. However, chances are it will need replacing if the crossover is that damaged. Call Polk's CS guys at 1-800-377-7655 (select option 2) and mention you are a CP member.
