Having Major Issues Need Help

[MooreMunky169]

So this is my setup

AVH-2550NEX Pioneer Receiver
2x TS-D65F Pioneer 6.5" Speakers
2x TS-A300TW Pioneer 3/4" Tweeters
2x TS-A4670F Pioneer 4x6 Speakers
1x GM-D8704 Pioneer Amp

Amp was hooked up using 4 gauge wiring all new & a 80 amp fuse on the positive battery wire
All speakers were hooked up with 14 gauge wiring all new

The Amp was set to 4ch and Gain was set to "N" on both front and rear on the amp. The HPF was also turned on on both front and rear.

The bass boost knob was installed and plugged in

On the head unit I also turned on the HPF crossover.

Given this setup could you please help me possibly figure out what the issue is. I had the Tweeters & the 4x6's completely blow. The 6.5" are still working however when I looked at them after taking off the door panels the tweeters in the front of the 6.5" are melted pretty good. I have no clue what could be causing it. If you could possibly point me in the right direction in fixing this issue I would greatly appreciate it. I can provide any other information if needed.

Are you running anything active or is it a passive setup?

Are you running anything active or is it a passive setup?

I am new to car audio just decided to try it out and well this is what has happened. Not sure what the difference is between active or passive setups.

Are you 6.5 and tweeters wired to a crossover?

 

[MooreMunky169]

The tweeters had a wired in crossover the 6.5's no

So how do you have all of this wired up?

 

[MooreMunky169]

So, the 6.5" are in the Front doors I rewired with 14 gauge wiring. The Rear doors a the 4x6's with 14 gauge wiring as well. The tweeters were tied into the front door speakers with a wired in crossover. All the speaker wires were ran to the Amp. The Amp was wired in with 4 gauge amp kit with a 80 amp fuse. From the Amp RCA cables were run to the head unit. The Amp is on 4ch and both front and rear have the HPF on. The Gain is set to "Normal" and the frequency set to 60. The head unit has the Crossover HPF on as well set at 60 frequency.

whats the crossover freq. between 6.5's and tweets....prolly fried tweets by playing to low of frequencies......most tweeters cant handle much power below 2K

 

[MooreMunky169]

60 but the tweeters had line in crossovers. Would that not protect them?

The Amp is set at HPF 60Hz and the receiver is actually set at HPF 80Hz with a -20dB/Oct slope. So far with the blow speakers the cost is adding up. I just don't want to damage the new 6.5" that I just put in the rear to replace the 4x6's and I ordered two new 6.5" to replace the front ones that have the melted fronts as they are two way speakers. At this point any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for replying to try and figure this out.

Tweeters can’t play that low. Specs say it plays from 1400hz and up so I’d cross at at least 2k but probably 2.5k to 3k

Alright will do thank you for all the help
