My ' Monitor 2 ' Bass Problem

[bluesfarm]

I am new to this site. Very nice so far. Yesterday I bought a pair of Polk Audio ' Monitor Series 2 ' speakers. The numbers under the barcode - M4.6 9020246. On the inside on the cross-over is 1991 stamped.
Anyway, both speakers dont have any bass. The high end is fine.I have to turn the treble down and the bass way up on my 2 systems to get any kind of bass going at all here. I have pretty good,if vintage amp-recievers and speakers like Advent Towers and other such stuff.
Do the cross-overs have a problem? All the wires are hooked up inside.
I only paid $30 for the pair at a flea market and I'd love to get these up and running. So any help to a newbie to Polk Audio would be greatly appreciated. Maybe sources for parts[cross-overs] etc.

Thanks !!

Welcom to CP!

When playing music, with bass set to "flat" on your receiver/amp, can you feel any vibration on the woofer cone when touched lightly?

Is this happening with both speakers?

[bluesfarm]

Hi- Very little vibration.Yes,the same on both speakers.

Thanks! I was guessing that might be the problem. I'll call tommorrow and then let you know what they say.

I'm betting the woofs are seized.

Siezed woofers? Whats that? Never heard of it.

meaning they don't "hit". i had that issue with cheaper speakers, but never polks. somehow, they just stopped excurs-ing. if that's a word...
