Jumper Question

Hi. Have a question on jumper placements. I read through several threads but am still confused. I will be using jumpers with a single speaker cable to each speaker. looking a one speaker, Snell Type D, it,s connections are vertical meaning for each high and low the pos is on top and the neg on bottom. So assuming that I,ll connect my cables to the high posts how/where do I connect the jumpers? Vertical or horizontal? Use 2 jumpers connecting each hi and low per speaker or 1 jumper to the unused posts? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Dave

I'm guessing that the switch is for the rear tweeter.....but the jumpers should go like this:

Dave, yes that,s the way I have my jumpers. I,m thinking maybe the crossovers or something else were fried or damaged somewhere along the way. I think they sat for quite awhile. What so do you think? If, needed you think a few hundred would be worth the investment if needed? again, thanks. Dave

You may want to pull the speakers, and try to play them on their own (at very low power of course). If they make no sound, then they are blown?

If they play......then check the wiring and crossovers for problems as you will know the drivers are ok.

Check the fuse next to the binding posts. They are there to protect the tweeters. If they are blown you won't get any sound.
Good-luck

Thanks to all for all of your insights, I appreciate them. First thing is that I will replace the fuses. They look fine but an inexpensive start to a problem. After that I,ll have someone look them over and go from there. My decision then is whether the investment in repairs are worth it. Again, thanks. Dave
