When you say the bank of capacitors had only three of the five connected, they are in parallel I presume?
That’s an unusual way to get a particular value, two maybe three, but five?
I don’t suppose they are marked with values on them? Voltage and Micro Farads?
It should do much more than simply change loudness of a driver, depending on the circuit, it may have two drivers trying to reproduce some of the same frequencies. Instead of there being a hand off of energies in merging frequencies between drivers, there may be an overlap?
Without a circuit diagram, it’s all a guess.
But I must say if a well made solder joint came apart during shipping, I am very surprised. Does it appear to have been all one piece at some stage?
Got good photos of this?
I used to work building crossovers and speakers cables, USB cables for a living. It was tough to solder solid silver wire to micro USB and even mini USB at times, as the plating on the metals made it harder to get a strong bind, even with good rosin.
With point to point soldering it’s a good method to crimp lead wires over or around each other with minimal contact point, using the solder to mechanically seal it, and also protect from oxidisation.
