Polk LSiFX repair - correct tweeter?
Options
I bought several LSiFX surrounds recently. One arrived damaged. The seller had a replacement tweeter shipped to me, but when I went to replace it, I noticed the magnetic assembly on the replacement tweeter was different.
Here's a couple pictures showing the difference.
The seller told me he had previously had the tweeters rebuilt by Speaker Exchange in Florida with new cone material and coils. Could this explain the difference?
I also found a tube floating around in the stuffing. It looks like it's supposed to be attached to the upper "Power Port" on the rear of the cabinet.

Speaker exchange is just installing the xt25, very similar tweeter
That tube needs to be reinstalled- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Ah, thanks!Speaker exchange is just installing the xt25, very similar tweeter
FWIW, for anyone who's interested, this appears to be the model Speaker Exchange installed: https://www.parts-express.com/Peerless-XT25BG60-04-1-Dual-Ring-Radiator-Tweeter-264-1012
Here's an explanation of the different XT25 models: https://www.diymobileaudio.com/threads/differences-in-vifa-xt25-tweeters.112028/#post-1446297
Figured as much. My concern is it probably (ideally) should to be sealed around the mounting area, and I'm not sure how good the access is for that kind of operation.That tube needs to be reinstalled
