How did you test the crossover?

multimeter on the caps and little diodes. caps where shot

Hi SMD Members If anybody has computer problems and is an SMD member with at least 150 posts I will fix your problems for free by phone support or I can also fix your computer over the internet.... I have references such as All State insurance, Nationwide Insurance and much more... just p.m me for help..

I had similar problems with my zapcos. But I'm wired at 10hm stereo on 1 and 2ohm on the other. Run the biggest power and ground wire the inputs will take. Like the others said it could be bad crossover check ohm load with system off. What components do you have?

I went and checked the ohm load at the amp with the system OFF, 4.2-4.4 on each channel. I also checked each channel with the system ON(don't know if that's the thing to do) and got some crazy readings. Checked the resistance at each crossover with the system OFF and all readings are good. So unless crossovers can be fucked up somehow and still read proper, its not them.

well now the fun begins. unhook each speaker meter seperately. hope you find a bad one. after that its unhook one speaker at a time and see what happens. if it stops cutting out you'll have found your issue. Wouldnt happen to have any different crossovers laying around.

I hope I find a bad one. There's 12 speakers to check, if I have to unhook 1 at a time......

highly doubt its a ground, ohm, or whatever issue, this dude knows what he is doing.... has to be in something being defective.., please report back what you find.....cheers and good luck....

I THINK I know what i'm doing lol. I hope its a single speaker and not the amp. If anyone can think of anything else to check, please post it.
