Driver Testing - reduced output


I have Proac 3.8’s.  The right speaker has limited output compared to the left speaker. I tested the cables, amps and other electronics as well as swapping out.  I get the same results.  I tested the tweeter, mid and woofer drivers with a battery and all but the mid “pop” / produce noise.  When I tested the mid with the battery, the woofer driver produced the “pop” but not the mid.  Testing the woofer only made the woofer “pop”.   Question: is the mid Driver bad or is the crossover doing something that is nulling the mid drivers response to the battery test?  The wire is soldered to the drivers, i did not remove the solder before testing.  Thanks in advance!

Thanks for everyones response.

I disconnected the driver and it is dead, no motion no sound.   
Im likely going to replace the mids on both speakers to keep each side balanced.

Hopefully the crossover doesn’t have a fault as well.  

Happy New Year🎊 
 

 

The mid driver doesn’t move at all.  I tested at the wire terminals of the driver, though with the crossover still soldered to the terminals.  Does that indicate the driver is bad or might i still have an issue at the crossover ?  And testing the mid driver makes the woofer driver move.
