No Sound from Tweeter


I just hooked up my recently purchased Matrix 805's and one of the tweeters is silent.

What should I look for first?

I'm going to open the cabinet and make sure they are wired properly. Any other ideas?

I thought that a "blown" tweeter would make a popping sound or some sort of sound. This one is completely silent.

Thanks.

It was probably blown before you bought it, and that's why t was silent when you hooked it up. Betting that might have been why the seller sold these speakers. Your best bet is to buy a new tweeter, hopefully one is available. Btw, you might want to imform the seller about the tweeter, and hopefully he'll reimburse you the cost of a new tweeter (but don't hold your breath about that happening).

Worldwide,

If I was you I would be buying "two tweeters". Granted you have one tweeter working well, but for how long? Keep the one tweeter that still functions as a "back-up". Now as far as the "beat-up" cabinets, you might want to inquire with some small cabinet shop, or even with some audio DIY'ers about rebuilding/repairing and refinishing the cabinets. Now this is assuming the once you replace the tweeters, that the speakers sound the way you expect them to.
