    I would consider removing the driver just in case the wire came loose. I've seen it happen before. Might be a quick fix for you.

    Hello,
    The first thing to do is to remove the driver from the enclosure, take out the six screws holding it in place and pull it forward. Disconnect the two wires that are attached to the driver's terminals. Then, at a low playing volume, try playing the driver directly powered by your amplifier. If it is damaged you would want to send it to Polk Audio, 2550 Britannia Blvd., Suite D, San Diego, CA. 92154. Please include a short note giving us your name and address and a copy of your sales receipt.
    Regards, Ken

    Hello,
    While some breaking in will occur, I don't believe it could account for the differences you are hearing. Is one speaker closer to any kind of room boundary, a wall or corner, than the other speaker? If so, this can account for quite a significant difference in the channel balance. Also, it would be a good idea to swap the two speakers. This would determine if the problem remains in the same channel or follows the speaker.
    Regards, Ken

    Sounds like you need to check on the crossover.
