Skullz Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Let's recap through all the information you have given us that you have done. You replaced the H/U, so we know it isn't that. You replaced the mids amp with your brothers, so we know it isn't that. You said you used a different set of rca patch cords, so we know it isn't that. You said you checked all wiring from speakers to grounds, so we know it isn't that. So what else is left to check that could be a possible cause? OMG, I'm baffled. 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...

Skullz Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Here it is in a nutshell, buy a nice set of components and ditch the pro audio speakers. There is a saying and it goes " K.I.S.S." keep it simple stupid" and it applies to many things in life, everytime you make something more complex than it needs to be, the greater the chance of having problems. 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...
Ahmed Johnson Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I don't know if it will work since it does seem like you tried everything but try getting a d-block and run your grounds through it at one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsoundguy Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 So looking at the pic you are not using the amp crossover at all. You have it set to full pass. That is the way I have mine set also for my component set as I am using the passive crossovers. What I do is use the HPF on the head unit to set my mids low cut off point. If I turn the HPF off on the head unit I get a lot of bass out of my 6,5s but the REs sound good there. I would try and set your HPF on your head unit to 80 or 100hz and see if that helps. It should just because that's what will cut off the lows from your mids. If not then put the switch on the amp to HPF and set it from there. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gckless Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 No, it's your crossover on your amp. You're actually not using them at all. See that little switch that has three settings labeled "HPF x10, x1, LPFx10"? Switch that to HPF x10 for your tweeters. What that does is change your crossover frequency adjustments from 50-500Hz (x1, where you are now, much too low for tweeters) to 500Hz-5kHz (x10). That's for your tweeter channels only. Then you need to switch both to HPF where it says "HPF, Full, LPF". You will want your mids to be about 100Hz and your tweeters to be about 4kHz. That's a general area for PA stuff. This isn't really an active capable amp for your mids, don't know why it only has one filter. My recommendation would be to run your mid channels as LPF on the amp and HPF on the head unit when you can adjust it, but until then running your mids with only a HPF until rolloff shouldn't be a huge issue. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Noel989 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I was about to say the same thing your settings look like their not being used I always thought this amp was capable of running active but it's messing a filter/subsonic Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
