    Sheesh. How much $ have you invested already? Will you even get that amount for them if you sell as is? I see a bunch of MW6503's on eBay and one MW6511 that is unfortunately in Canada. You would probably have wanted to replace those tweeters with RD0-194's anyway.

    I guess a good takeaway is to always check everything out before investing money in a crossover upgrade.

    Yep, lesson learned. Although posted on Craigslist and already sold them and came out ahead. Figure someone else can go through the process to source and/or upgrade the drivers.

    The large inductor on one of your crossover boards looks toasted. I suspect the previous owner tried using a non-common ground amplifier.

    I may have fried drivers all around as I am unable to get an ohm reading on the MW6511 or the SL2000. I connect the speaker wire to each of these drivers directly from the amplifier and had no sound from either. Is it possible all drivers could have been damaged when the PC board overheated? Anyone heard of this possibly happening?

    Absolutely and likely caused by using a non-common ground amplifier.
