kickass audio Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 The light bulb is for overpowering the tweeters as they are more sensitive to over powering than mids and subs. If it starts to glow then you are getting too much power to go to the tweeter. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress
David Bailey Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 What would be cool is if the light bulbs lit up when the music was playing! But yeah, if your properly crossed over, you don't need them. Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

Soccerballzs Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 Try using 1.5 amp fuse works better. Light bulb gets hot. You can still blow tweeter with crossover. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/

_paralyzed_ Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Would an LED work? Put it in a mount on the dash as a tweeter overload indicator?
