I haven't used my Q2's in a while as they no longer sound that great and have haven't had the time to look at them internally. Anyhow, the other day I hooked them up again just to see if they still work. All the drivers function although the sound is very poor. Just no life to these things any longer. Mids and highs are weak, bass is muddy and overall not that pleasing.
Only thing that helps somewhat is to play them loud and even at that, not exactly a great experience. Tried on two different amps, Yahama MX-1000 and a Yamaha MX-600 that I know are and sounding good with other speakers.
No time to take them apart yet but I did disconnect from the amp and checked the resistance across the terminals. One speaker is reading 24 ohms and the other I can't even get a resistance measurement which I find odd as the speaker (all drivers) do work. Using a very good multimeter so I know that's not the problem. Plus I tested some other speakers with it and got accurate readings.
So I would imagine the crossovers are shot. When I open these things up, is there a particular part(s) in the crossover I should focus on? Or could just about anything (and everything) be bad?
