Alright guys, looking for some assistance here. I thought there was a fuse somewhere inside these things, but I can't seem to find one.
Issue: Very little/no output from this speaker.
Testing so far:
Used preamp to switch output to only L and only R to determine whether the issue was at preamp stage. Reversed RCA cables between preamp and amp, issue stayed with this particular speaker. Switched speaker cables (left channel driving right speaker, etc.) to determine whether particular amp channel had blown, problem stayed with this speaker.
Actions taken:
I opened the case, removed the woofer and passive radiator, and crossover assembly. Pics are attached. Found some interesting gunk on the big cap - anyone know what that is?
Questions:
1. Does anyone know if there is a fuse in this speaker?
2. If not, what components, if inoperative, would result in the no/little sound phenomenon described above?
3. While I've got this out, what, if anything, should be replaced?
Thanks!
