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.

Thanks Shadorne. I think I will just order a new tweeter and chalk the whole thing up to a bad experience and a poor choice.

I guess I'm too trusting of other people, maybe because I'm honest. I would never mis-represent a pair of speakers the way this guy did.

I'm going to mess with the tweeter for a little bit before the call to my dealer. Maybe it's a loose wire?
Return the speakers and get ALL of you money back. They were severely mis-represented by the seller. Why dick around with non-functional, beat-up speakers?

Agree w/RW..get your money back and stop buying off Craigslist..Its a junkyard/bottomfeeder venue.Stay with this forum if buying used..You will pay more but in the long run you save in all respects
Everyone seems to have missed the one basic troubleshooting step. Take the non functioning tweeter and swap it with the functioning tweeter. If the tweeter works it is a bad connection/crossover. Otherwise the tweeter is dead.

I had a B&W 802D - didn't drive them hard at all, but blew 3 tweeters. It is an easy fix, but you have to buy the tweeters...I'd stay away from this sale.
