I have a problem with some old Loudspeakers

[Rich123]

Hi,

I have a pair of JC One Loudspeakers and one of the speakers has some problems.

I already had one of the Loudspeakers (this one seems to work fine) set up with a different bookshelf speaker (the other damaged Loudspeaker was put in the attic many years ago most likely because of this problem) and recently I brought it down to try and fix it.

I just swapped the already in use working Loudspeaker with the damaged one I brought down from the attic. I would set them both up together but I have to buy some more banana plugs.

When I set the damaged Loudspeaker up with a bookshelf speaker the sound mostly only comes from the bookshelf speaker and the damaged loudspeaker just gets dominated and you can barely hear anything coming from it.

Has anyone had any experience with something like this and know of a fix? It's impossible to find any information on these speakers on the internet and I have zero experience with fixing speakers. Thanks

Wait, I'm confused about your initial troubleshooting. Please clarify what you did with the bookshelf speakers. (Based on what you said so far, a different pair of speakers exhibiting the same imbalance indicates the trouble lies upstream.)

Also, did you really reverse the left and right speaker to check.

It is possible you may have a blown speaker.

Ugh I made a mistake with the OP and edited it. The reason that I have 1 loudspeaker and 1 bookshelf setup is because the Turntable was sold a long time ago and these speakers were just used for a T.V.

You need to check the drivers with an ohm meter and do a battery test on the woofer also.

If the drivers check out OK, then you need to trouble shoot the crossover.

If the drivers are toast, then the speaker is done. I have never heard of those speakers and the chance of finding parts is probably zero.
