kandiman71874 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Surprised no one has brought this up yet. Have you scoped the amp output to make sure you arent clipping going into the crossover at higher volume levels?

Karkov Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Well not exactly speaking. I dd-1 the Head unit, it maxes at volume 40 and i got it to distort at a 39 and a 40 so I made up my mind to be safe never to go above 38, so when I DD-1 the amp i used volume 38, and even so when listening to music I am not constantly at volume 38. usually 28-36 for the most part (in the short time today that it took for the crossovers to melt.)

White Lightning Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm sorry but I can't see it being that amp being over worked,I have the same amp along with 2 other 4 channel RF amps and have no issues with any of them. This is just crazy,I doubt it's voltage since you're electrical is strong so I'm kind of lost. Hope you get this worked outI understand ... I could be completly wrong here, just going with what has been presented to us and trying to help Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??

Skullz Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Am i wrong or is he passing 125hz and up on those tweets? I have never seen crossovers melt before and really confused as to how and why they could melt under normal conditions. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen crossovers melt before and really confused as to how and why they could melt under normal conditions. He's got his HU HPF set to 125hz. So 125 and up is going to his passive crossovers. The tweets are crossed higher.

truthsayer Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think i would go completely threw the wiring system and recheck every thing. Seems like one has to be shorting out, to keep having this issue. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I agree i dont think its the amp its self but what does the birthsheet rate the amp at? If your wattage is to high for the components rating than you might be pushing them to hard causing the crossovers to heat up and melt. Dynamic headroom is a good thing but it also means turning the gains down more to stop overpowering components and the amp its self. I feel for ya man! i would be having a bloody fit right now! Crossovers blown, looks like you might have to try running active off the amps. Good luck buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
