ncc74656 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 just rebuilt and tweaked my system and i find now that distortion is nearly all gone with the exception of a few songs but my tweets are getting very warm. id say about the same temperature of a hair dryer. they are SPC-60 alpine tweets. should i be worried? nothing, gutted
SnowDrifter Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Some heat is to be expected any time you apply power to a load.They shouldn't be getting hot hot but warm is fine ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
ncc74656 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Posted June 10, 2013 all right. well all of my speakers and subs get warm cones but none of them are to hot to touch. id say the tweets are easily the hottest out of hte bunch but they also have metal grills so it makes sense they would be warmer. when ever im driving my stereo is always near max volume nothing, gutted
trumpet1 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Turn the volume down or drop the treble on your EQ. The metal grille is there to protect the dome from getting pushed in, not to wick heat away. Tweeter voice coils are very small, and they're not going to last forever driven that hard.
ALPINE408 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Your tweets should not get hot at all if they are even getting wam you are overpowering them distorting them or both or even xovered wrong my tweets play LOUD and allways stay cool to the touch uunless sitting in direct sunlight Warm/hot tweets are bad mmmmkay Have you ever had your woofers blown?
TeamHT Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I was going to day check the crossovers. I've never had tweets get even warm Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
Kyblack76 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 as hot as ambient temp in the car is... SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
ncc74656 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Posted June 12, 2013 well these are well beyond ambient temp. my heat temp gun puts them at 92F while the car is 70 nothing, gutted
