Speaker repair technical question

I don't have much knowledge into how speakers physically work. Recently one of my Monitor Audio gold 10 drivers went out, I found a replacement mid-woofer, while I was installing the new driver I noticed the tweeter wouldn't make any noise so I thought I had a broken crossover until I put the new driver in the speaker started working. My question is if the speaker doesn't have a woofer will the tweeter stop working and/can a broken crossover be benign and slowly blow woofers?

I over powered a pair of Monitor Audio GR 10’s and blew the woofer and gold dome tweeter in one of the speakers. I ordered both from Canada, installed them and they were the same as new. So I’m not so sure why it is you’re having a problem but I wouldn’t rule anything out. Instead, I’d call Monitor Audio and see what they have to say.

How did you manage to pull the drivers in your GR10? I've got a pair of GR60s that need some cabinet restoration, and I'm having an awful time trying to pull ANY of the driver assemblies. Thanks in advance for any tips.
