Tseng2394 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 So I just installed new tweeters in my 2002 Maxima, Focal IS165 tweeters. They produce nice sound but I have a problem with one of them. When I installed them, I wired them the same way and both were good. Until 2 days ago one of them was not playing sound anymore but had a buzz sound when I put it close to my ear. I figured this was some bad wiring issue so I ran new speaker wire from the amp to the tweeter and got sound out of it but it was crap. Sounds really bad and doesn't get loud. the volume was on about 30/35 faded to the tweeter only. When you hear the distortion it was from the subs, I had them turned down but they were still bumpin a bit. The problem is, it sounds really bad and it should be much louder at this volume. Any ideas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-F9ltnB4_I&feature=youtu.be Quote AlphaDamp CLD Mat - Get more Sound Deadening with less Sound Deadener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 How much power are you giving your tweets? Are you running them active? If so, what freq are they crossed at? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crandis16 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 that doesn't sound good at all man, call focal and get your stuff fixed. I would expect that focal wants to keep it name untainted and will call it defective and will replace it.

HunterJohnson Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I sold these to him they were brand new, never had power to them. He's asking for a refund now which as a seller I am giving him, but do you think it is his fault?
