keith Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I recently installed my morel hybrid speakers, and the drivers side stops working. shortly after that a capacitor blows out in the crossover. I checked all wires and they where fine can someone please give me some info on what could have caused this problem.
Karkov Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Same thing happened to me with RF and Crescendo. I was told I was over powering the crossovers. I really don't know. best of luck and tuned in for what people say. Also, i posted pics. of mine way back in 13' can you post some pics.?!? 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

keith Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 i will try tomorrow or the next day the other side is fine just the left side tweeter still works just woofer went bad and i think the capacitor that exploded went to the woofer.
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 How much power are you feeding them? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
Guest Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Bi-amping your component set removes issue with the passive crossover...as far the driver goes...it could be a blown speaker, or a bad connection...make sure all your wires are connected properly first...if all wiring is good, then check the speaker with a dmm and see if it reads an impedance close to what the driver is rated for...if the impedance is jumping around and not staying at the same number, then it is likely blown...this could be caused by overpowering it or a clipped signal.
keith Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 checked all connections everything looks good one of capacitors blew like it was fire cracker kinda spooky never had this happen before. could it be a faulty crossover .
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Maybe. Where did you buy the set from? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
keith Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 off ebay from a guy i bought my virtus from
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 That's sketchy. See if he will replace it. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
