Help, Frustrated with Horn output


To you many experts out there. I have a two way speaker, horn and sub ( altec model 19).

Horn goes intermittently out for extended periods of time.

i changed the diaphragm, no luck. Changed the crossover, worked for awhile then no output after a couple of days. I did use a new preamp/amp at first figuring issue must have started there so I eliminated the previous gear out of the equation.

Would really appreciate some suggestions about this issue I’ve been pulling my hair out for months on. Been a lurker for years on the site and know theres a lot smarter people out there than me.

Thanks in advance

You can try the battery test. Connect a 9v ( what I use ) ( or an AA, C, or D battery straight to the tweeter, bypassing the crossover, and see if it stays on. This will tell you if it is or not the tweeter. My best, MrD.
