There's not a lot to them. IE they are simple devices - which should be good news for diagnosing the fault.

I think we can assume that it's the quieter speaker that has the fault.

The fault will either be with the wiring, the crossover or one or both drivers (tweeters are the most likely items to develop a fault on speakers like this).

Is there a tonal difference between the speakers? EG the quieter one sounding bass heavy?

after running the tests the quieter one is slightly lighter in bass

How do the mid-bass cone surrounds look, especially the quieter one?

Is there any sign that you're getting voicecoil rub? Google "testing speakers for voice coil rub"
