    Check to make sure the straps between the binding posts are tight

    Using an AVR? If so, they are not bi-amped.

    Your problem can only be a few things. Blown drivers, bad crossover components or a loose connection.

    you may have to. I do not know for sure as I have not been in those speakers. Most speakers have enough wire to pull out more than that. Best bet is to label and disconnect the wires from speakers and remove the XO

    The wires are soldered to the crossover board and there isn't much slack, so yes, you will have to disconnect the wires at the drivers to remove the binding post plate/crossover.
