A little more info to add before I call it a night. I did some wire tracing and I suspect (to the degree of around 90% positive that) these speakers have been running with polarity issues. What would be a help is if someone could verify that the black striped wire for LF,MF, and HF are in fact supposed to be on the negative terminals of their respective xover connections. Also, on the LE5-12 midrange, which wire connector is positive, the male or female? And last, on the 044, there is a + molded into the aluminum housing on the back side where the tweeters male terminal is, is the positive wire from the xover to connect to this terminal?
Sorry for all the rudimentary questions. Problem is I have 4 xovers with three diffenent wiring configs and don't know which one to trust,,, in a nutshell, I've got a clustery situation on my hands.
I'll also try to search here for some old documentation that may have schematics. Thanks.
