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!

Use a multi-meter to measure the resistance across the speaker terminals. Normally, the resistance should measure around 3 to 6 ohms. If both measure exactly the same in this range, it's probably not the crossover and instead a driver issue.
