Tweeters are smoking...yes like a fire smoke!

[banginout 10+ year member]

I have a JL e4300 4 channel amp that I recently installed 2 6x9's Infinity Kappa on.....the one speaker played just fine and the other one has a high pitched sound that came from it and started to briefly smoke from the coaxil tweeter area.... I tried adjusting the amp and no help...

What would cause this? Has anyone experienced this before? Bad amp channel/ bad speaker?

I have the amp grounded in the same place as my sub amp and its using the same remote wire, 12V is coming from a distributor block...

Thanks

Yeah, but aren't Kappas MMD tweets?

Also, how in the hell can the OP still hear after smoking the harshest tweeters known to man?

Does the speaker play music while smoking? My guess would be the amp ch messed up.

Eh.. not so much. If he went from - on amp to + on speaker and + on amp to - on speaker he would have just had it wired out of phase.

I would pull the speaker out and check the resistance with a dmm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
