Is the crossover for this series supposed to be attached to the inside of the rear input panel? I took mine apart and find that it's different on each speaker! One is on the rear input panel, the other is stapled to the inside of the cabinet!
I'm guessing the inside-cabinet one is due to a previous-owner repair job, since the fuse holder has been sloppily bypassed. Oddly, I did have these professionally re-coned, and the shop never mentioned anything about the odd crossover placement and defeating the fuse mechanism (not sure if this is common or not).
Here is the assembly that I suspect is the default, factory style:
You can imagine my surprise when I removed the second speaker's input panel and saw only this:
With the wires leading to the crossover inside, stapled to the inside of the cabinet, but containing different components than the more official looking board in the other speaker (though the board here is stamped with "300 SE" ??).
So, at this point, I'm not sure what I'm looking at, and if any of it's an issue. (Speakers have been working flawlessly for ten years after having been re-coned). I'm going to get a new fuseholder and correct the bypassed fuse on speaker 2, which appears to have the outboard contact point ripped off.
The fuseholder repair is easy enough, but should I be concerned about the crossover placement, or the observation that it's apparently distinct from the other speaker?
Thanks for any input on my inputs!
