General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Speaker problem?

Well I finally got the back off 1 of the speakers! No matter how hard I tried though to pry the back off without wrecking the cabinet ,proved a waste of time,because the sides of the cabinets were very thin pressboard! I discovered why it did'nt sound right.
The factory forgot to solder the cap to the woofer! How did I know this? Because the cap,which by the way is blue and reads 1 MFD 50V.
was soldered to the + side of the tweeter but was twisted only around the wire soldered to the + side of the woofer but the bare parts of the wires were not touching each other! Now I'm sure this does'nt happen that offten!The Woofers are 5" and are 8 ohms model # 16p92sn.
They seem to have a nice size magnet and have rubber surrounds! The Tweeter is 2" 8 ohms model#5ph04SD which looks like a dome! Well now I'm thinking the speakers are ok and thinking of finding some old speaker cabinets close to the same size or smaller that they would work in! I know this all sounds kind of crazy,but since I got some spare time on my hands I figure I'd give it a try.I'm only doing this because my sister wanted an all in 1 unit that played records,since her stereo quit in March! I offered a seperate componet to her but she said they take up to much space and are complicated to use! Brian
