Well, now things are really weird. I happened to connect the woofer only part of the way, so that the field coil was energized but not the voice coil. With the woofer voice coil disconnected, the tweeters worked fine regardless of whether they were grounded. (I think they sounded better with a 10uF crossover cap compared to a 4.7uF, but this was without the woofer connected.) When I connected the woofer voice coil, then the tweeters went completely silent. If I disconnect the tweeters from the circuit, then the woofer gets louder. If I reconnect the tweeters, then the woofer is slightly less loud, but I can't hear any sound from the tweeters. Arrgh, what on earth is going on here?! Icon_mad
