[QUOTE="Miragemobile, post: 8123928, member: 642819"] I've got a pair of ID CTX 6.5cs comps with an ARC Audio FD2200. I set the amp gain using some test tones to what I thought was the correct setting, but maybe not. Recently, one tweeter stopped playing and it made me investigate the other tweeter which sounds more distorted than I recall during install. 1. Using a multi-meter, it looks like the silent tweeter is toast (no continuity) 2. "working" tweeter definitely has some distortion. Q1: Can I get another pair of tweeters from ID? Or what would be a similar replacement? Q2: Will a local audio shop set amp gains, as I have lost confidence in my own ability? Q3: I had the HPF at the headunit OFF, and was only using the amp's crossover. Is this not the normal approach? [/QUOTE]
