HELP Hertz HSK165

UPDATE:

Weird thing this afternoon, I onlyplugged in my right speaker and guess what happens. The ohm light never lit up. I then only plugged in my right side and then the ohm light came on. Im going to try and switch the pos and neg wires on the crossover and see what happens, maybe i soldered it wrong when i put the door back in.

Blackbonnie also told me about how crossovers automataclly seperate the freq. for the components, but how come when i adjust the filter freq on the amp, the sound changes?

If i wire the crossovers wrong...say for the woofer, pos on neg rather than pos to pos, can I blow my speakers?

Also, do you guys think that is the reason why my amp is going into low ohms?

NO! at that point its just out of Mechanical phase with the other woofer.

Okay so I figured out one problem, but dont know how to solve it just as yet, but another arises. I bridged the JL amp 300/4 - no problem, no ohm problem no cut off nothing.

BUT WHY IS MY SPEAKER SMELLING LIKE ITS BURNING!!!!

150watts continous to each should be fine, whats the problem. I'm also playing white girl - young jeezy. whats the problem?!?!?!?!?

16 Gauge...its the monster speaker wire...but i dont want to sell my amp when i know it can do it bridged....why is my speakers smelling like its burning!!!

 

[rapmaster0 10+ year member]

I dont know what im doing wrong... i just dont understand. Ive double checked the wiring, bridging the amp shouldn't do this to the speakers - it can handle the power!! whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[rapmaster0 10+ year member]

Anyone?

 

[rapmaster0 10+ year member]

Chances are, if you are smelling burning the gain is too high. I suppose it's possible for it to be a bad speaker, but in every instance I've been involved with, smelly speakers=heavy clipping.

 

[rapmaster0 10+ year member]

sooo should i bridge the speaker anddd set the gains lower than what that forumla gives me?

the sqrt one

I don't care to use a dmm at all. Use your ears, they're the best tools you own. At the first hint of distortion back the gain off just enough to clear it up.
