Anyone know the spec for FXi3 tweeter? One of the tweeters of my FXi3 stopped working. What other Polk models have the same tweeter?

    How did you determine it is the tweeter and not something else?

    Bad tweeter is from the left speaker and when I switch the same side tweeters between left and right, I get sound from the left and nothing from the right. I took a SPL meter very close to the bad tweeter and the needle on the SPL hardly moves.

    Very good, definitely a bad tweeter.

    Maybe try eBay.

    Yep, here's one.

    Thanks for the ebay link. I tried Polk customer support but they don't have any.
