9887 Crossover...

Ok, installed ID OEM's and seas neo tweets.. mids work great.. tweeters blew.. the gain is all the way down on my 120x4@4 ohm amp so that's not it.. the crossover is annoying me I don't understand..

Well. is the front preout mids or tweets? I had tweets in it..

I think the rears are for the tweets, and the fronts for the mids. Not %100 percent sure though, it was quite a while ago.

time to bust out the manual

I don't think it's in the manual. I just busted out mine in hopes of helping you out, but no luck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

make sure you tell us how it was supposed to go lol

probably best to test with jsut the mids hooked up and play with the crossover points.

I did.. but check this out.. the mids rca's are in the rear outs (where the manual says the tweets should go) and the tweets rca's are in the front outs (where the manual says mids should go).. but when I set the HPF for the highs and the mids' bandpass stuf, the tweets' HPF goes to it's rca unlike the manual says and the mid's bandpass goes to its rca unlike the manual says.. so they are getting the desired active crossover points, just not how the manual says they should be... i don't get it..

NEW PROBLEM:

Door speakers, when turned past 25, cut out and get REALLY REALLY barely audible quiet then after about 5 seconds crank up... and repeat, over and over until turned back down to low 20's or such.. gain is only on halfway and HU only puts out 4v pre's at max volume and it's at a lil over haf volume being at 25-30... UGH!! WHAT IS WRONG..

the shop couldn't even figure it out, but they said even in the high pass preout the tweets are still getting mids (this is with 3.2k at 24db/octave setting on the HU) and since the manual says we have the rca's backwards we switched em.. guess what... the mids then got the highs.. I don't FREAKING understand..

that might be your problem

Ya, but what I'm saying bro is that even though they're in the wrong inputs, the mids are getting the desired frequencies, and when we plug the mids into what the tweets were plugged into, we only get highs (meaning the rca's are in the right way.. which is opposite of what the manual says so I don't get it) but when we plug the tweets into where the mids were only getting highs from (the tweets rca's that we tested on the mids to make sure only highs were coming through) they get some mids and highs..

how is that possible if when this same RCA output sends only highs to the mids when the mids' rca's are plugged into it?

I say plug the rcas where the manual says and check your crossover points.

I agree ^^^^.....No sense in blowing another set of tweets or your mids just because you don't feel like switching the RCA's, the manual says to hook it up like that for a reason.

Lol guys I totally agree but what I'm saying is if I plug them in right, then the mids WILL get highs and the tweets WILL get mids.. I dunno why but that's how it is..
