I see. First of all, this is from the manual.
"TWEETER LEVEL CONTROL
The Tweeter Level control is located on the connection panel on the back of
your cabinet. In general we recommend you initially set the control to its
12:00 (or flat) position. Users who aren’t used to having a tweeter in their
bass enclosure may want to turn the tweeter down to the point that it is
barely operating and, over time, slowly adding more tweeter into the mix.
The rear (inside) of the connection panel also houses the crossover and
tweeter protection system. This system uses an aircraft-grade light bulb in a
circuit that is designed to absorb current that is in excess of the powerhandling
ability of the tweeter.
In cases of very high levels of high frequency information (such as feedback
from facing the cabinet with your instrument turned up), the bulb can glow
brightly enough to illuminate the interior of the cabinet and shine through
the speaker surrounds. While this is a rather dramatic display of the
protection circuit, it should not be done intentionally. It’s much better to find
another way to impress your drummer!
Excessive amounts of current will cause the bulb to act like a fuse and fail,
requiring replacement before the tweeter will function. Replacement bulbs
are available from our factory. In an emergency, an automobile dome light
bulb can be used to restore the system. To replace the bulb, simply remove
the screws that secure the connection plate to the back of the cabinet. Gently
pull the plate out and replace the bulb in its connection clips."
Just making sure you had this info.
Second, are the wires unplugged from the tweeter or from the crossover?
If from the tweeter, I'm not sure that polarity matters but just in case...there is usually some kind of mark on the tweeter, either a + or a - or both. Sometimes it's just a dot of paint to show the positive connection.
