I can't say, these are way different than the newer versions I have. Did you do a google to see if you could find any pictures of the back? I don't know what the other tab is for, or is that the part where the connection was broken?

 

Found this via google. Can it be that they came that way??

Hertz HT25 tweets, Hertz 165L woofers, Monster Cable XLN 4 ch RCA's

 

There is nothing wrong with soldering pigtails to the terminals, but it looks like whoever did it did a terrible job. It looks like they melted the plastic pretty good around the terminals, which implies that they didn't know what they were doing. As long as the connection is solid and they didn't heat up the rest of the tweeter too bad in the process, you'll be fine.

 

It's possible but I think that they've probably, or maybe, have taken them off for an install, to go through a hole or something like that and resoldered them. They've definitly been altered, cause you can see the housing on the side of the connection has been melted like there was too much heat applied. But the other thing is that from the factory, most of the time, they put a black silicone type stuff on the top of the connections. That's the way they are on mine adn it looks that way on what you just posted.

If nothing else give them a little power and see if they work.

 

i agree

 

Guess there's only one way to find out, right? Thanks for chiming in!!

So since the spades on the pigtails do me no good (ie, won't reach i can just chop them and splice more wire to it to attach to either the xover (or amp if active).

Thx!

 

What i would do, depending on your skills, is take these lines off and solder some new lines on that are longer. Or you can splice solder onto these and heat shrink em to make em longer. Either way same effect.

 

Thanks Scooter... since the connections actually seem solid when I tug on them, i'll get them in a put some power to them to see what happens.

Thx!

 

I just sold a set of these and I can tell you for a fact that someone has Jimmied with those connections

 

Hello, don't worry, they're OK as shown on your pics.

The cable is obviously the original, too.

I suppose the double soldering pads are here to facilitate either mounting a second speaker in parallel, or soldering a passive filter... Anyway, they are double as you can see, and the factory cable is soldered to one only of them on each side.

BTW, after at lot of search, I finally found the specs sheet and response curve, here it is :

It's not even included in the box...
