rainbow crossovers problem

okay, so yesterday i bought a pair of rainbow cs365 3 way components but something was wrong with the woofer output on one of the crossovers. so the guy sold them to me for $100 and they werent even mounted yet! but now i need to figure out either how to fix that woofer output or get new crossovers. any input or suggestions? dont wanna spend a ton of money but is there a way to fix it or a good replacement? thx.

Would hate to see what happens in the event of a Tsunami or Volcano eruption to all that rainbow equipment

Nothing wrong with DD, they do great with SPL. At least your heading in the right direction for some SQ.
