    Got the checklist and honestly i might be supid but when i checked it out everything seemed to be okay. But I was really up close and felling the output from the drivers and it seems like one of the tweeters is not working and also one of each of the mid drivers in each of the speakers. seems like one of the tweeters is just bad but not so sure about the mid drivers as the ones that don't work are in the same location on each speaker. Suggestions please. :confused:

    Do you have the interconnect cable that runs between the speakers hooked up?

    Swap tweeters and see if the problem follows. If it does then you may have a bad crossover, if the tweeter works then you just have a bad tweeter.

    derek,

    You say you have a pair of SDAs. Did you just get them and have them shipped to you with the drivers in the cabinets by any chance? If so a couple of drivers may have seized up as they don't always tavel well while mounted in place. (This could happen even if you had to transport them yourself and they couldn't handle the trip.)

    For basic starters: As long as you know certain drivers (tweets or mids) are working properly, take one out and replace it with one that is in question. If it works in the new position then it's obviously fine. If it doesn't work where another one works just fine then replace it. If you can't get any working driver to operate in a certain placement then check the wiring to that point.
