um...the amp's volume nob goes up to 10units....i dont put it louder than 2...cause 2 is good enough...and it doesn't have too much equipment backing it up...its connected to an equalizer and straight to my comp...and the tweets are professional titanium

Obviously 2 is too much power if you're fryin em, the ONLY way speakers "fry" is sending too much power to them.

this amp also fried my cuz's 2 500wrms each tweets...i dont really think it put out that much power into one channel...cause his 2 tweets are 4ohms and were wired in parallel to make the 8ohms...

but i see where you're coming from...what can i do to reduce the power???

500wrms tweeters...holy mother of God. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

What kind of speakers are these, it sounds like the crossovers need to be worked on, or at least modified to roll off the power going to the tweets.

I want some 500 watt rms tweeters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

hahaha...they are titanium bullet tweeter...i think with a 3"dipraghm...very loud...used for professional apps...

anyways...i dont have a crossover in my room...but on the system...i have an EQ and a pre amp...and this amp is only set to the EQ

here is the tweeter my cuz got...

http://www.millionbuy.com/pyrtw67.html

and in pro apps that aint the most powerful...there is also this...which isn't available where i live

http://www.teptronics.com/gmi676.html

but we use the pyramids...and it aint cheap here to replace those diapraghms

Perhaps they're blowing because they're Pyramid?

Those can't handle 500wrms...I'd put money on it.

I'd get a set of "real" speakers, or build them using good parts. Guarantee you won't blow them if you select the right stuff //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 

[creater 10+ year member]

um can you recommend a pair of tweets that can handle 500wrms...cause they are use for pro apps

x2

I was looking at the supposed specs for the tweets in those links and was just going "Whaa..?!"

 

[creater 10+ year member]

and no its not bacause they are pyramids...i know that pyramid aint too good...but there is another guy with 2 of these and he runs them off of a qsc amp...and they never blow...

i seriously wonder why

 

[Chevyaudio 5,000+ posts]

whoops dont want 500 watt rms pyramid tweeters, and x3 there is no way those things are 500 watts rms

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

cause they are use for pro apps

You're confusing the heck out of me here. First you said you wanted to fix a system for your bedroom, now you say they're used for pro sound...which is it?

In home, there's no way you need 500wrms going to your tweeters. No way.

What are you running for the midrange/midwoofers in the system? You can't just listen to tweeters...
