Blown speaker

josb52 · 10th October 2010, 07:11 PM

I have a pair of TDL near field monitors with no bass, there is sound coming out of the tweeters.
Is the fault with the crossover or the bass woofers?

crossovers rarely fail. I would check the woofers. BOTH are not playing?

Time to get your screwdriver out and do a little exploratory surgery.

Should the woofer measure 8 ohms

Varies.

An 8ohm woofer will measure 6-8ohm DC, a 4ohm woofer 3-4ohm. If the meter shows either short circuit (0ohm) or millions of ohms, you've got a problem.

Touch a 1.5 v battery to it, see what happens
