Good evenind,

That looks like a failing amplifier board on the speaker.

If you only chage only MOSFET you did not repair it or maybe yes in 10% ..for short time.

A faulty MOSFET is just the result of some  XY error on the amplifier pcb.

Strange sound can also be caused by a malfunction on the other PCB of the speaker.

 

Thanks for your advice[:\'(]
Morning all,

The static/ crackling is coming from the tweeter , I have disconnected it and crackling stops.....is this still a fault with the board or just a replacement tweeter required...your thoughts would be appreciated

Tweeter is OK.

Problem is on power amp. PCB or crosower PCB.

Where are you from ?

 

Marexy hi, I live in Edinburgh... 

You can repair it or buy new power amp board.
