Hi

The resistance of the secondary sounds about right, if memory serves...

As a quick test, try running the tweeters direct just for a minute or so, without the capacitor. If they work, then the new cap is your culprit - could be defective?

Is the cap a non-polarized cap?

How is the resistance of the individual tweeters? And their field coils?

If all else fails, try 2.2 uF, non-polarized, and PLEASE let me know if you have to do this.
