A few years ago my off-warranty centre channel speaker failed. It still produced high tones, but no mid to low tones. I put it away and used my stereo without a centre speaker. I've finally decided to have a look, and I've found what looks to be an unsoldered component. It's the bottom of the long black thing, below. The second photo is the view around to the left of the first. The two shaky yellow arrows point to the connection. Will soldering this fix my speaker? What is the long black thing?

Looks to be an inductor and yes this will affect the sound big time

Its a crossover and yes that wire does need to be connected. It more than likely is a choke because the big yellow thing is a capacitor.

You have a pretty elaborate stereo system on your bike.  2funny
