Hi,
I own a lovely pair of rt1000i floorstanding loudspeakers with built-in powered "subs". The sub amps are both broken.
I'm ok with that since I have a real sub. The midrange woofer is broken on one tower. Needless to say, I'm not ok with that. I pulled it out and connected it directly to my amp, and no sound comes out. If I push on the cone, I can feel some resistance coming from inside the driver, as though something inside is rubbing together. However, can't seem to figure out how to open the driver up. Does anyone have any insight, or do I just have to replace the whole thing?
Alternatively, could I replace the midrange woofer with the "sub" woofer since I'm not using the subs? Both cones are the same size and I read somewhere that the drivers are identical. The midwoofer is marked mw7200 and the subwoofer is marked mw7201.
Thanks,
Ben
