Charlie,
I was thinking about this, and if you got a speaker that is supposed to have
audio filters but they don't work, maybe you can get a partial refund to make it
worth your while to just have a matching speaker.
Then, make something like this (or buy the kit):
($25.00)
and supply 12V to the speaker, and you'll have a superior audio bandpass filter
(assuming the one your speaker had used passive components and wasn't powered).
I have a Yaesu speaker that matches my 767GX radio and it has the passive audio
filter gutted. I don't know why it was removed but I understand passive filters
don't work nearly as well as an active filter.
Of course, if you don't want to do that, and want to get a refund (if it's not
working or it's damaged), do that and find another one with a working filter.
Just be aware you can end up with something better if you use an active filter.

But I can hear no evidence that they work, at all. This is disappointing and disturbing but before I ask the seller for a refund, wanted to see if someone here has experience and guidance.
Can you take off the cover and see if the filters are bypassed?
