[QUOTE="Pyrofan, post: 8310852, member: 656668"] Ok, so Im wiring up all the components for this project im doing and begin to test the speakers and tweeters. I tested the speakers first and set the gain as loud I could (it was late) and without distortion. Used a 100 Hz tone. Checked the voltage with a DMM and it was only 12v....thats 4 watts each speaker (4). So I went on to tweeters....got nothing. Checked the resistance on wire and got 0. So pulled out a tweeter and tested the terminals and got 4 ohms ( they are 4 ohm tweets) but, when I test the attached wire which has a cap on it, I get 0. Why would the cap be blocking resistance? Are they blown caps? I did some research to no avail. I will set the gain higher on the 6.5's tomorrow but right now, these tweeters got me baffled. Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
