KLH Model 354 Speaker, Woofer question ODD...

I have recently acquired a pair of KLH Model 354 speakers, one of the speakers does not have the original woofer and I'm desiring to replace that one.

The speaker in the pictures is the original.

These speakers are very odd, first off I can't decide the size of the speaker 10 or 11" Maybe 10-3/4"

If the entire speaker cabinet is an 8ohm speaker, would that also mean that the woofer must be 8 ohms? And what is that little wire hanging out between the positive and negative do.

Anyways I'll let the pictures do the talking.

appreciate any help you guys can offer on this subject Ak'ers.

That appears to the same (or similar) woofer used in the KLH 5 & 23 (or possibly the 6) which is nominally a 10" woofer but indeed measures 10-3/4".

As a rule, yes.

My first guess would be that it connects the negative side of the signal to the high-pass (for the mid and/or tweeter) portion of the crossover.
