Frankly it sounds more mechancial than electronic (as if there is

I know it is a silly question, but are you SURE that the hiss isn't
coming out of your amplifier?
(have you put a scope on the speaker lines or substituted either speak=

or amp?)

Yeah, switching one speaker pretty much solved that one.

What, solved it as in proved that the amplifier *was* the cause, or solve=

it as in it wasn't ?

When I took out the speaker and put in another one, the hissing sound
stopped? When I put the speaker *in again, the hissing sound started
again

I don't know if my question was ever answered. Where is the hissing
comming from ? Behind speakers means behind the box.

If you can't tell from listening, use a piece of tubing to get location.
You can get it down to less than an inch.

I thought I made this point in the second posting by saying what I did
to try to trace it by pushing in the woofer (you cant push in a
tweeter that easily), the sound is coming from behind the woofer.
