parts for my vr600 csxo crossover

I agree completely...

The small component above the woofer is more than likely a bypass cap, not a protection device. Electrically, it's in parallel with the primary crossover caps. It's there to improve high-frequency response of the entire circuit. Can you give us the number off that little yellow disc lookin' thing?It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Yep, the number off that little disc is RXE-090. Also I've attached the response from JL Audio, interesting I thought... Hello Clayton, There is a polyswitch in the crossover that protects the tweeter from being overpowered. The response of the polyswitch is very much like what you're describing. After time and a number of triggers, the values on the polyswitch can change, they can become more sensitive. You have two choices, the polyswitch itself could be replaced or, bypassed. The value of the Polyswitch is:RXE 090. Or, to bypass it, just run a jumper between it's two leads. I'd suggest replacing it as it's obviously doing it's job....

One of the things you learn when you have the most abusive clients on the planet.  Tearing stuff up South Louisiana Style.   When I turn my music up really loud, My Tickers quit playing.   I can't believe that you guys have never seen such a thing. 

Well, if they would've quit playing when I first installed the system, I would've known, I need more speaker ;), but they use to sound bright, tight, and LOUD :-O So, if this is obsolete, does that mean I need to solder a paper clip in there? <JK>, but seriously...

Alright then, "I'll have TWO"... they're on order and should ship today. To bad, ~.80 cents in parts, 8 dollars in USPS shipping cost! Still, a bargain if it works!
