[QUOTE="BeAlLsTaR13, post: 6239779, member: 609000"] well, i was outside cleaning the car up a bit had my music going a little bit, not that loud though.. and when i got around to the driver side i noticed a little difference in the music.. so i closed my doors sat and listened, i realized not as much was coming from the passenger side, as far as highs, so i pulled the sail panel and noticed the tweet "appeared" to be fine, so i went and did the same to the driver side tweeter, i couldnt bare to touch it, it must have been 150º +.. but it was still playing music, so i went back to the passenger side and noticed its not, so i pulled the passenger side cross over and find that the plastic casing is melted, *the mids still played 100%*, so it seems the tweet must have been blown, for some time now and i just realized it, however i think the driver side is about to go as well because it is now getting fairly hot and the casing on the crossover is starting to melt just a little..: oh and heres pics [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] passenger crossover: [IMG]http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/985/1000923.jpg[/IMG] and for those who have RSD components, you should know this hole, is not supposed to be here: [IMG]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3875/1000924.jpg[/IMG] heres the inside of my melted (passenger) crossover: [IMG]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/68/1000925i.jpg[/IMG] the 2 white things just above the +2dB switch are VERY hot as well, this is what is melting the plastic on the crossover now heres the driver side crossover: [IMG]http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1397/1000926.jpg[/IMG] as you can see, this one is beginning to melt, but not as bad as the other side is.
