hdrox88 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 So, I recently purchased a set of ID X65 and XS28 to run active. Got everything installed and working correctly yesterday and today one of the tweeters just stopped dead in it's tracks. I'd say about an hour of play time. I tested the driver for continuity and got nothing so it's definitely the tweeter that failed. I am running a RF T400-4 with the tweeters on front channels and the mids on the rears. I set gains with a DD-1 to the 0db track and all pass for xover on the amp. I crossed the tweets at 2.5k with 24db slope to start with. I am using the network mode on my pioneer 80prs for xover duty. Was this just a faulty unit? Or am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 How loud was you playing it? And double check your RCA's and wiring.I once wired a tweeter on wrong channel.things happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdrox88 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I was at 55 on the hu, according to the dd1 my hu does not have any distortion so I set amp gains with -5db track at 62 on hu then switched to 0db track and dialed the hu back to 59 which is when distortion went away. I labeled all my speaker wires and rcas during install so I wouldn't hook anything up wrong and send the wrong signals to the wrong drivers.

XmaximuS Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I just went through the owner's manual. For low and high pass It states: Variable Crossover – Is a built-in 24dB/octave Butterworth filter with a crossover point variablefrom 50Hz to 500Hz. How did get crossed at 2.5k? MY BUILD LOG>>>> NAH I BETTER NOT.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
