Thanks for the reply, It looks like it says 850 Hz. 850 Hz being the point that the 3.5/tweeter combo starts. the 6.5 speaker is < 850 Hz. I can't find anything about the crossover point between the 3.5 and the tweeter. I'm assuming the tweeter is > 2000 Hz

Hello, I've been having some issues with my tweeters/mid combo speakers for a while know. Specifically https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113XP6903C/Kenwood-Excelon-KFC-XP6903C.html If im listening to a song with either a higher pitched voice or a piano, probaby around like 200-400 hz ill get...

Thanks for the tips. I read the scope wrong It was 6v pk-pk so 3v peak. I ended up getting a 600 watt version of basically the same amp and I'm getting decent volume now.

Hello, I have an MRV-500 from alpine that ive had for a few years decided today i wanted to retune my amp since I haven't done it for a while and it was sounding odd. I set head unit to max volume (doesn't clip I checked with oscilloscope) and played a -5db 40hz tone. I was amazed how much...

I pulled the speaker out and tested them direct connect to the amp. I also cut the crossover off and measured all sides. I ran the speaker for 5 minutes off the song that reproduced the issue and nothing. Since the door and dash speaker are wired in parallel I connected the wire that went to the...

I'm not sure how there would be a pinched wire. I've checked all the connections made behind the radio to the factory speaker wire and re-wrapped all of them. As well as checking all the connections at the output of the amp. The only thing I can think of is that the shop I brought the car to...

Haven't tried this yet but I don't think the ground is the main issue here. I spent a good chunk of time moving things, disconnecting speakers, setting different crossovers, gains, and measuring a lot of things. I think i've come down to the in line crossover for my speaker taking a dump. I've...

The ground is attached to a bolt inside the trunk. Its wire brushed on the paint. After bolting the ground down i used self tapping screws around the eyelet to get even more contact. I've tested multiple points in the trunk, under the carpet floor after scraping the paint and other bolts in the...

Just tried this and no luck. Issue was replicated exactly as before. I'm starting to think it's either the amp or speaker, but I replaced both about 1.5 months ago.

Hello, I've had my car system in for some time now and have always had a weird issue where one speaker (or multiple) will cutout randomly and have this static sound to them, see video (sorry the song was on the radio and it produced the sound) " start at 35 seconds Things I've done to try to...
