I own a pair of YG acoustic’s Kipod II speakers I bought used. I love them but have had some issues.
I recently noticed (not sure if they were always this way) that one speaker is significantly quieter than the other (some rough spl measurement looks like 10-15db quieter or more. I haven’t tried to isolate it, but I believe this applies to both tweeter and woofer.
I did some trouble shooting, swapping amps, wires, and even drive units and the one speaker is still a lot quieter in all scenarios.
I’m not a technician, but logic is pointing me to the crossover. Problem is, I didn’t think a crossover fault could only affect volume. But the fact remains, something g has happened to one of the crossovers (could be the loud one of the soft one).
Has anyone heard of an issue like this? Are there any tests or measurements I can do to verify the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
