bad cross over??

[troutfisher]

how do I tell if I have a crossover problem?
I have a pair of Pioneer cs 701a's and it seems thaton tweeter has no sound but if I hook it up right to the amp there is sound coming out of it
Thanks
P.S. I don't know anything about cross overs

I am not familiar with that unit but if it has a tweeter level control I would suspect that first.

yeah

Swap the tweeter from one to the other speaker, although your direct to source method sounds like it confirmed the driver itself is OK...so yes, the x-over has an issue. x-overs are fairly simple in parts. induction coils, resisters and capacitors. The coils and resistors are fairly stable so capacitor problems are your next target. They can be replaced if you have some soldering skill. If not, whole x-overs may be available in the auction site or speaker supply places where all you have to do is some wire hookup and a little carpentry.
