Goodmans Triaxiom 212 Issue

I have a 16 ohm Ghoodmans Triaxiom 212 that’s giving me some issues.

When I brought the pair of speakers home and tested the resistance they both measured at about 17ohms. I plugged them in and one was not producing HF. So I took them out of the cabs and switched the crossovers to check if maybe it was just a bad capacitor. Nope. Still the same issue. So that rules out a bad capacitor in the x-over. So what could it be? Bad voice coil? I also get a lot of LF distortion from the bad speaker with no HF. Bad voice coils for the tweeter and the woofer?

Check the L pad. They can get dirty and unreliable.

Lots of LF distortion is bad though, sounds like it could be a write off

Sh*t. I was afraid somebody might say that. The L pad works on the good speaker before and after switching the crossover (which has the L pad wired to it) so it’s not that.

Ok, I flipped the speaker onto its back and the distortion is gone. I might have actually been hearing a voice coil rub. There might still be hope
