    Default Tinny sound

    Hi: Have a wonderful pair of old RT400's. Suddenly tinny sound from one of them. Crossover network, maybe? And if so, can I get one and replace it myself. Thanks.

    Since it's only coming from one speaker....try switching your speakers around (reverse left and right) and see if the sound follows the speaker or stay on the same side.

    If it follows the speaker, then at least you know it's the speaker...

    It it doesn't then its tme to check components, cables, etc

    Thanks, Polkmaniac: Did all that. It's definitely just one speaker. Any suggestions?

    Give Ken at Polk CS a call...or send him an email...

    You can also try posting this in the troubleshooting section and he'll probably reply there...

    that is of course if no one else chips in and solves the problem for you...
