Complete waste of time. Find the nearest dumpster and........well, you know the rest.......

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
Just try another set of speakers and see if you get decent bass response with them to rule-out any damage to the amplifier. If there seems to be better performance that way, then just replace the pair.

Actually my suggestion was to dump the whole thing. It can't be worth more than about 10 bucks.
I thought as much but rather than being a killjoy, I thought I'd help him out without being quite as judgemental. It's not my stuff.
