   Hello,   
      
     I agree with what Dave Platt said.  there is also the possibility of a   
   tweeter or crossover problem.  You can check that both tweeters are   
   working by listening up close, you should be able to hear sound coming   
   from the tweeter.   
      
   	I'm guessing that the speaker rebuilder you used was Bill LeGall at   
   Millersound:

   	I've had great service from him.   
      
   Regards,
