CDT Upstage kit help

[GTO Dave 10+ year member]

Put in part of m ynew setup yesterday. New 1/0 wire is run, rear speakers are in, new amp is in, started to put comps in and I get nothing out of them. Sub works - rear fill is working - Drivers side old comp works off the amp so I know that's good - new CDT with the up stage won't work!!! I either can barely hear the image tweeter OR just the main tweeter and woofer when I move the connector in the crossover. When I play the woofer it sounds terrible also. I'm not even close to it's power range and the speaker sounds like it's crackling. Speaker set is CDT ES620US powered by Audison Lrx5.1k. Help!!!

Did you buy the Components used or bnib? It may just be as simple as you got a bad set of comps.. Your crossover could also be fried bro //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. I have seen that happen before.

You also said when you have the old component set in it works right? I am just making sure because sometimes since the RCA jack is UNDER the audison amp cover thing people will accidently plug it into the wrong input/output.

Bought BNIB. It's hooked up right for sure. I don't know what's wrong. I gotta call CDT tomorrow. I'm not happy with them right now!!!!

Is it the same on both sides? Did you wire in the image tweeter adjustment knob?

 

[GTO Dave 10+ year member]

Only wired one side so far. I just hooked up the input from the amp to the crossover, then the 3 outputs.

try to use old crossover with new tweets and mids and see if that works
