My tweaters are out?!?!

[miker 5,000+ posts]

Yeah.. I have Phoenix gold RSD comps, and the tweeters just completely stopped working on BOTH sides.

Like they aren't blow, they just get absolutely no power.. unless thats what tweeters are like when they're blown? I don't know, all I know is that they don't make any noise at all.

My mids are working fine, if that makes a difference.

have you checked your wires?

blown X-over? If you have a DMM see if the wire has any powerand try to metter the tweet.

Since they are making no noise... shoudl I see if I'm getting a voltage out of the cross over?

I would measure impedeance of the tweeters to see if there is still a value there..i.e. 4ohm...if no impedeance scrap them.. if there is impedeance next check the crossovers themselves...its not uncommon for a crossover to have a for lack of better words..light bulb.. installed in the crossover to dissipate heat from the tweet...if that has blown you would get no signal to the tweet...but im not familiar with the design of the crossovers of this particular brand, set.

let us know please

how much power are you running?

Haha, umm not sure? I'm using a "DUAL" amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

supposedly 100x2 @4ohm, and the gain is at about 3/4..

ok so you clipped the signal. thats why they blew (if they blew, which is probably the case).

so sorry.... but operator error.

yep if you didnt set gains with dmm thats why they blew

nah. the dmm method is flawed.

i didn't set any of my 3 gain knobs with a DMM and my shit aint gonna blow. i just simply figured out what number on my hu i wanted what volume and then level matched from there.

plz explain i am intersted in what you are saying

it's just not an effective way of setting the gain. that simple.

for noobs its a good way to play it safe but thats it.
