worked like a charm

but I'd always suggest an oscope if you have access to one.

Like it might be on 3 way, and you only set 2 cross overs. so the other one would be full range.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif your losing me man. Right now the speakers are in the front speaker RCA preouts, are you saying i should simply unplug them and put them in the rear speaker RCA preouts?

:edit Ok i kind of understand, but that makes no sense. So if you are running 4 speakers, the HU only sets a crossover for 2 of them? makes no sense.

ya, see if it fixes it. you might have the gains set wrong too.

If you can't hear an audible difference crossing them over between 100 and 200 hz, you aren't crossing them over. Period.

Sent mine back to CDT after the same symptoms you had. Bad driver. 1 day turnaround. Got them back friday.

Both of them do it.

No dude, i said i COULD hear a difference. The crossover seems to be working correctly, but it has no affect on the speaker distorting problem. If i set it to 80hz there is a hell of alot more bass coming through the speakers than at 200hz. But what i was saying is at 200hz the speakers were still distorting.

My bad, can't read at 12:45 at night. Maybe if it happened to DJMan it could happen to you. IMO, unless your HU is feeding it distortion, or your amp is, they should most definitely not distort crossed over at 200hz. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

I haven't hooked mine back up though. I THOUGHT I heard the same type of midrange distortion out of mine too. I did the gain tutorial, but not scoped. I will this time.

The guys at CDT said upgraded crossovers will improve power handling. I like the 560's just haven't decided what to do about it yet.

i just installed my Kamma cdt set today and it did that so i had to ajust the gain by turning it all the way down and turning it a 1/8 of a turn after listein to it. but i set my on 80 out of 80 though and also i adjusted the highpass filter to it was on 100 and no i belive its on 80 also on ur eclipse unit u may have to adjust the bass, mid, and treble to like -1 or something i also have an eclipse cd5425.

the kamma series is total crap.

Another thing i don't get is sometimes my sub sounds loud as hell, then later on the same song it doesn't even hit half as hard. My in cluster battery gauge stays around 13 volts the whole time as well. And today both CDT's started distorting like crazy with all songs, than like 10 minutes after they stopped and now they sound fine. What is going on with my system lol. I had someone put it in for me so i wouldn't have to deal with this crap

Jesus your an idiot. 800+ posts and you have learned nothing. Go back to the person who installed it and have them fix it. Obviouslly it is past your capability...

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif THe thing is, it sounded fine for the last week, it just started distoring heavily the other day.
