LSi15 both tweeters not working.

So I pulled out both tweeters and they are at 4ohms , safe to say they are not the problem.
I pulled out the crossover and looked for the 2ohm resistor that always burns out, but everything looks fine to me... Am I missing something?

Unless you want to upgrade the resistors you can just replace the damaged one with like for like.Political Correctness'.........defined

That 2 ohm/5 watt resistor should have been a 10 watt, so a 12 watt would be fine. Replace all with Mills for better sound performance.Political Correctness'.........defined

I'm glad to hear your speakers are working again. Hopefully, you upgraded all the resistors while you were in there.Political Correctness'.........defined

Ok I think I found the problem. Just because the resistor looks good doesn't mean it is.
I measured another resistor just to check and all of them are ok. Should I replace just the one bad one on each board?

I was thinking of replacing both resistors on each crossover with the 2ohm mills 12 Watt. How about the other resistors Are they known to fail or just that specific one for the tweeters?

I replaced both and now my tweeters work! Thanks again!
