I currently have goldwood tweeters from parts express and they suck -
Here is the crossover -
Whoa.......they are a bit of a mess. Ok, there is no fuse on the back, so they are likely 7C's, but you should pull the crossover to compare with the schematic posted here.
Those driver/PR screws are not the correct ones and the driver screws are in the wrong location. It also appears the binding post plate is cracked. I can't tell for sure, but it appears the two bottom screws on the tweeter are going through the bezel, not the tweeter cut out.
I take it you just bought them?
One other thing, the red (positive) nut should be on the left, black on the right. However, you should verify that the wires haven't been swapped inside.Political Correctness'.........defined

It looks like someone replaced the tweeter with a JBL (or knock-off) tweeter.
If you remove the PR and snap a pic of the actual crossover components we maybe able to give a better idea but you likely want the Polk replacement tweeter RDO-194 which is an upgrade.Stan

Thank you all very much thank you all for the information these where actually my uncles garage speakers so they have taken quite a beating over the years I picked them up not to long ago he wanted smaller speakers I think these polk speakers are a diamond in the rough I can't wait to get the crossover upgraded and I'm sure they will sound awesome I'll take a picture of the crossover in the morning.

Posting you phone # isn't the best idea. If you have time to edit I'd take it out.

Well the good news is the passive radiator seems to be in good condition. The tweeter and the mid woofers are easily available.
The passives are harder to come by, so you may have dodged a bullet.
