Crossover help?

Hi to all I'm hoping someone might be able to help.

I've tried to upgrade components within my crossover and now have no HF signal.

The tweeter checks out.

I've searched for bad joints , shorts etc but can find nothing obvious.

Today I've pulled the upgraded components from the Hf circuit but still have nothing.

Using a continuity test its all good up to the main cap and after back to the terminal.

I do get a bleep from both terminals so assume thats the parallel resistor.

I'm at a loss as to why its gone completely dead.

Anyone got ideas how to check the network front to back with only a basic multimeter?

 

Thanks in advance if someone has some ideas

Regards Ian

How do you attach images? 

It links to a url rather than to a location on the PC.

by the way, the capacitor will never test positive on a "continuity tester" because it's not really an absolute connection.  You can try testing for capacitance if you are an LCR multimeter.

I believe you can add photos to your post now, but haven't tried. You can also post photos at https://systems.audiogon.com/

I've been unable to discover the issue or post pics.

Looks like I'm going to have to build point to point external crossovers.😣
