pg rsd 6.5 blown already?

[panteramatt]

I just installed this component set in my mustang vert and the drivers side mid "pops" whenever a bass note hits when volume is only turned half way. Only had them hooked up to a rf 450.4 bridged for like 2 hours of play time. Could this be blown already?

What was your HP filter set to?

[panteramatt]

crossover in the amp was set to ap if thats what you mean.

[mcsoul]

What does AP mean on that amp "all pass" in other words no filter?

Edit:
I looked on amp guts, the 400.1 has a 3 way slider LP - AP - HP. I'm going
out on a limb and saying that AP means no crossover.

Your speakers are blown. You should have run your crossover at HP and selected
about 60-80Hz.

its bottoming out.

how many watts you runnin to it about?

and set your gains right.

[panteramatt]

But I dont hear it on the other mid. Its getting plenty of power. I have a rf 450.4 thats bridged going to them so its over 100 watts rms to each speaker. Whats the easiest way to set the gain and what should I have the filter set to?

search setting gain tutorial
there are about 5000000000 threads on it.

maybe there is lomething inside the door loose?

hp needs to be set at 80 on those...or they will bottom out :fyi:

[panteramatt]

Awesome. I will try that.

[panteramatt]

Yup, that worked! I was just about to return these too. Now I need to figure out how to set the gain. Is it different with different amps?

[mcsoul]

These guys are right they pobably are just bottoming out. I read your post wrong
and thought only one side's was popping and not the other. My bad.

[panteramatt]

No, you read right. Only one side was popping but I switched the crossover and cranked it @ 80hz and no popping!

[mcsoul]

In this case it feels good to be wrong as hell then!
(about the PG's being blown)
I'm glad everything worked out.

[panteramatt]

Thank you and everyone else for their help.
