What caps did you get?
I am using Clarity caps esa series.I actually have two sets of the mg-1 and recapped the first pair earlier with the same caps with good results
I am still having trouble getting the bass panel to work.I have changed the caps ,wires and hookups on both speakers One works great the other no bass .When I run a jumper wire from connection board where one side of the caps are hooked up to the other connection where the other side is hooked up I get Bass.With out the wire no bass.I'm thinking I might need to change the connection board or capacitor issue.This is the 2nd pair of mg-1 s Ive recapped I had no issues with the first pair.Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

can you test al the segments in the entire wiring scheme to locate the disconnect or is it out of reacch? If out of reach then just disconnect the old wires and put in new wires and caps according to the schematic. Obviously your test is showing that the bass panel is functioning fine. In that test you bypassed just the cap(s) with a wire?
The bass drivers can be checked with an ohmmeter.....it should show about five ohms. If you don't have an ohmmeter just use a standard "D" cell battery and connect/disconnect for an audible indication.
If you can't see a break in the bass wires then there's a bad connection somewhere.
Both speakers doing the same thing??
Dave.
Haven't done the second speaker yet.I will borrow my sons meter and have a look.I will update when I can.Thanks.
I haven't worked on these for a month .Too much stuff going on till today.I put in a new connection board and I have the same issues.The other speaker works fine after the recap.Could it be possible that the caps I'm using in the trouble some speaker have issues from the factory?
