pg rsd 6.5 blown already?

[panteramatt 10+ year member]

I just installed this component set in my mustang vert and the drivers side mid "pops" whenever a bass note hits when volume is only turned half way. Only had them hooked up to a rf 450.4 bridged for like 2 hours of play time. Could this be blown already?

What was your HP filter set to?

 

[panteramatt 10+ year member]

crossover in the amp was set to ap if thats what you mean.

What does AP mean on that amp "all pass" in other words no filter?

Edit:

I looked on amp guts, the 400.1 has a 3 way slider LP - AP - HP. I'm going

out on a limb and saying that AP means no crossover.

Your speakers are blown. You should have run your crossover at HP and selected

about 60-80Hz.

its bottoming out.

how many watts you runnin to it about?

and set your gains right.

But I dont hear it on the other mid. Its getting plenty of power. I have a rf 450.4 thats bridged going to them so its over 100 watts rms to each speaker. Whats the easiest way to set the gain and what should I have the filter set to?

hp needs to be set at 80 on those...or they will bottom out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Awesome. I will try that.

 

[panteramatt 10+ year member]

Yup, that worked! I was just about to return these too. Now I need to figure out how to set the gain. Is it different with different amps?

 

[mcsoul 10+ year member]

These guys are right they pobably are just bottoming out. I read your post wrong

and thought only one side's was popping and not the other. My bad.

 

[panteramatt 10+ year member]

No, you read right. Only one side was popping but I switched the crossover and cranked it @ 80hz and no popping!

 

[mcsoul 10+ year member]

In this case it feels good to be wrong as hell then!

(about the PG's being blown)

I'm glad everything worked out.

Thank you and everyone else for their help.
