[QUOTE="Pratt2112, post: 8370461, member: 665452"] I have a Audison Bit One, 2 JL 10WT3, JL HD900/5 amp and Focal Access series 2 each: 690AC, 570AC and TN43. I play loud classic rock, heavy metal. Had system installed in June 2014. A couple months after i noticed front right channel would drop intermittently. thought it was patch cable, so replaced. seemed to fix issue. then a few months later the left started dropping and then the TN43 stopped working. Started troubleshooting with installer over phone, he is 14 hours away. I found at this point every time the amp would clip the left front would drop. he sent me new tweet and 690AC. I adjusted gains and made sure that the loudest i played it wasn't clipping. now 3 months later same exact thing, only right side. BTW, after the right blew, yesterday i started watching for the clip light and again, amp clip, right front dropped. What i did find with left, and didn't think much of it until i noticed it on the right as well, the clips for the positive and ground were loose. i asked the installer if a speaker, while playing at high volume, starts cutting in and out could it blow a tweet or the driver. He said no. Can i get some opinions here. Am i just over driving? i have a good ear, being a musician, and i don't hear any distortion. TIA. [/QUOTE]
