the crossover in one of my Pioneer CS 99a's recently failed. The sub is not working, but it works fine in the other speaker, so i assume it is the crossover. How should I go about finding a new or replacement crossover for this speaker? Is it repairable?
I'm really fustrated about not being able to listen to my stereo at the moment.
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice from someone who has knowledge about the situation.
Thanks

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice from someone who has knowledge about the situation.According to this replacement parts information from Pioneer (http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/model.asp?modelNum=CS99A), a replacement crossover (aka "network") is no longer available for your speaker directly from Pioneer. Oak Tree Enterprises (http://www.oaktreeent.com/Pioneer_Speaker_Parts.htm) is offering a replacement crossover for your speaker for $65. The old crossover could also be repaired, either by yourself or by a Pioneer service center (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/asc/locator/0,,2076_25076227,00.html). Before you try to fix or replace the old crossover, however, I recommend that you open up the speaker and look for loose or corroded connections between the crossover and the subwoofer. Before you authorize any repair at a service center, I recommend that you ask for an estimate. You may find that the repair cost is so high that the repair is not worthwhile.
