[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8865008, member: 689267"] The more critical point is the midbass driver lead (wire). If highs are coming out of it, then it's full range. If that is the case, you don't have to test the other. Since there may be a passive (capacitor) inline with the tweeter that you cannot see, it may only produce highs even though the frequency isn't divided electronically at or before the amplifier. TO date, I've never encountered ANY manufacturer that uses a passive dividing network (crossover) on the midbass driver. This requires the use of inductor (coil) and a capacitor and it's usually right on the back of the woofer basket orin a stand alone crossover (like the ones you've seen in some of the aftermarket component sets covered in earlier post) not somewhere down the line.
