voxigenboy Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 i have a pair of PolkAudio DXI5000(i think?... dxi something anyway) and a PolkAudio P660 amplifier. twice now a tweeter has blown and im wondering.. are the speakers just crap or the amp or some setting on the amp? i know these speakers are supposed to be 'clean', and i do like that... just i want very loud also. everything seems to be wired ok and levels on amp as well. i did make sure that the bass was off at least. what do you guys think? need better speakers? if so, whats a good set? what about the amp? damn though.. looks like im going to have to sell my gaming laptop this time.

voxigenboy Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Posted September 2, 2011 Is it the crossover on the speaker that is coming apart? hmm.. it shouldnt be. i just got the speakers in feb. this year and the first time the tweeter blew i took it all back and got an exchange on the whole package. i do listen to dance music(minimal, techno) very loud. volume on deck goes up to 35 and i regulalrly go to 25. at that volume you can hear it pretty far away.
m&c caraudio Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Your probably asking for too much out of those speakers
voxigenboy Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Posted September 2, 2011 Your probably asking for too much out of those speakers do you recomend any? i was thinking of a jl audio (if they make that type) or possibly focal. some of the more 'fancy' local shops seem to be into focal.
acarolan Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 i think it might be the amp, i have a polk PA 500.4 and i also bought the SMD DD-1 distortion detector, tuned properly, and when i turn it up i get distortion, my speakers may be a bit underpowered but it shouldn't distort
blankskater08 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 I asked about the crossover for the tweeter because its an issue ive seen on a few of the Polk DB series speakers. I would be listening for distortion in the tweeter, like tweeter hiss (from the treble being up to high) or it sounding like its trying to hit too low of a note. (Ive heard this when the 'bass boost' setting is used on an ipod eq). I have the Rockford Fosgate T1s and they arnt bad, but the tweeter can get alittle tinny. In my SUV I ran Infinity Referance components and they sounded pretty good, but I am swapping those out for the Polk MM series soon. I ran all Alpine Type R stuff in my friends car and they are pretty clean sounding. Personally I have never had the chance to really listen to a set of Focals, so I cant compare with those. =/ Old Build Log -2001 Sc2 Build w/ Full Range 8" Rears Other Installs! -06' PT Cruiser w/ Four P2 8s! -Installs for Funsies
