I have this old pair of Technics SB-3130, they are three way speakers. Both of the super tweeters are dead (infinite resistance) and I’m not sure if this impact the range of frequency feeded to the tweeter. Given the schematic diagram, if I remove the super tweeter, should I modify something to have all the high frequencied on the tweeter?

    You will basically have to replace the 3-way crossover with a 2-way one, or you will be missing the complete upper range currently “assigned” to the super tweeter. You’d also have to make sure the current mid-tweeter is able to reproduce the upper frequencies. It will most likely be easier to simply replace the defective tweeters.

      That’s my question, how do I get rid of the crossover. In my limited understanding of electronics, the c3 capacitor will do nothing if terminals 11 and 12 are open. I’m not sure though.

        Yes C3 will do nothing if terminals 11 & 12 are open. You won’t get the high frequency super tweeter range just mid tweeter and low woofer
