Hey guys..
A while ago my girlfriend aquired a pair of SMG's for a good price..
Recently she moved,and we set them up,but it seems one of her old roomies fried one of them (the right one).
I replaced the 1.5 amp fuses in both panels with new ones,and the right panel is still completely dead. (The fuse is only for the tweeter panel,IIRC)
It's not the amp either,subbing a different speaker worked fine.
Is there any hope? Does Magnepan still repair these older panels?
(looking highly doubtful. "No" on the MG I's)
Is there anywhere else that can repair them? (without taking out a 2nd mortgage?)
Bah!
Might it be something I could fix myself?
I'm assuming the wires on the panels got hot and went open somewhere...I just wonder how much damage it might have done to the (mylar?) panel...hopefully it's not completely melted and FUBAR..
Might I be able to "bridge the gap" in the wire and have them function?..
Seems to me like it would work,aslong as there isn't too big of a hole melted in the panel or something.
