    Question about replacing a tweeter

    Hello, I have a pair of Alesis M1 Active Mk2s, and the tweeter on one of them has finally broken. The replacement process itself is easy enough, I was troubleshooting to see if it was a fuse or the tweeter itself by switching between the two monitors, and came to find that soldering isn't even...

    Just to preface this by saying i am new to the stereo game and this will be my first(ish) repair. I have a pair of 1966 KLH 24 speakers. The subwoofer works and sounds good, the tweeters however, are not producing a sound. I already checked on the multimeter and they were reading 6.7 Ohms. I...

    Bass through speakers

    I've got a pair of 70W Pioneer speakers and I've been curious of if I could hook them up to the left and right channels(35W) and split the sub channel(60W) to them also. In my head theoretically if I were to do this each speaker could receive 65W but I'm not sure how it actually works.

    Should my pioneer HPM-60’s be like this??

    I just bought a set of hpm-60’s and noticed the woofer was acting funny on one of the speakers. I had gotten the guy to play them for me and they sounded fine.

    I have a pair of Dahlquist DQM-9 Compact tweeters that have pushed in cones for over 15 years. I totally neglected them, and apologize to all. One was rather mangled with a dent that actually was more of a folding over, and very irregular. It was as bad as anything I could describe. No...
