Help I Bought A Pair Of Monitor 5 Off Ebay
They Were Shipped In A Box With No Packing
Needless To Say They Dont Work. I Dont Want To Toss Them I Would Like To Rehab Them
One Tweeter Is Bad Test Zero The Magnet Was In The Bottom Of The Speaker Box
The Other Tweeter Test 7.4 On The Meter I Dont Know If That Number Is Good Or Bad
The Drivers Are Mw 6502 Both Test 3.9
When Hooked Up The Speaker Sound Muddled And Have Only Slight Sound
I Would Like To Rebuild These Any Help??? Are The Crossovers Ok How To Test Them

    Welcome to the party pal. Shipping is the blues. With no packing, send a message to the seller and/or paypal but don't expect much.

    It's admirable that you wish to rehab them as they have a golden sound. Polk Audio has some replacements available. If you call, mention you are a Club Polk member. Which tweeters do you have? http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25377

    Where do you live? A fellow polkie may live nearby with a spare part.

    Have you tried to push on the cones of the woofers to see if they are frozen? I have given up on purchasing shipped vintage Polk's. The magnets are prone to breaking loose. Are both tweeters bad?
    Sorry to hear the bad news, And welcome to Club Polk.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben
