    Check to make sure the metal jumpers between the two sets of binding posts are intact. If you don't have the metal jumpers and you connect to the bottom set of binding posts, your tweeters won't be getting sound.

    If all is well with the jumpers between the binding posts, call Polk customer service on Monday.
