Speaker works great when woofer pushed.

Comrades -
I've got a set of Kappa 6.5s. If you aren't familiar with these speakers, they have an external cross over that splits the signal to the tweeter and woofer. I noticed the driver's side wasn't sounding like a loud speaker, but like just the tweeter was doing its thing. Upon closer examination the tweeter is working great, but the woofer is dead. I have eliminated the amp, wires and connection as sources of error. By chance I pressed the woofer in a good half inch and wouldn't you know it, the speaker sounded perfect. Unfortunately once I let off the woofer it dies again. So now I've got a bad connection somewhere after the terminals? Is that possible? Fixable? I really want to tear the unit apart to take a look at its innards, but I don't think it was designed for that. What is your take?

the voice coil on the woofer is blown

check the wires that go from the terminal to the voice coil i had a sub that did that to me i almost threw it away untill i discovered that how to fix idk maybe solder some wires to connect it but i just gave the sub to a friend idk what he did with it

was doing a search for something else and figured id bump this thread for comedy sakes, dans currently out of the country on vacation so his trusty neighbor (me) had to go smog it, was wondering why there was no bass.
