Gotta start somewhere...

Hi all,
Another newbie here. I'm hoping I won't be totally clueless for too long... Looks like I'll be diving in at the deep end by replacing some caps and I'm hoping some of you clever people will save me from drowning if and when I start to struggle.
Fingers crossed I learn to swim soon :D
 
Cheers everyone.

I might have to change the caps on a crossover in a 30yr old Pioneer speaker. The tweeter keeps cutting out. Haven't checked solder joints yet but from what I've read, if all connections are ok then it could be the cap(s)?? I'm learning as I go tho so I could be completely wrong.
 
What speaker?

While new caps might be a good idea to assure operation to spec, a bad cap will not generally cause an intermittent problem. Does the speaker have an adjustment for tweeter output (a knob or a switch)?
 
Thanks for all the welcome messages

Spark, it's a rather obscure Pioneer cs-v11, no tweeter adjustment control. I'm hoping it's just a bad solder joint. I figured a bad cap would effect crossover frequency rather than an intermittent disconnect but I'm clueless really.
Would you suggest it's a bad connection rather than a bad cap?
I posted the question here:

Any advice appreciated
