just finished my rebuild and now have a problem with one of my two set's of 6.5's. i just had a my jl 450/4 fixed by jl i bought it used and when i got it it was fucked up, anyway when i hooked it up it did the same thing as be for basically went up in magic blue smoke, whatever jl said they fixed it ( well thats another story) but my front door separates are not working rite only the tweets are working and I'm getting nothing out of the mid bass drivers at all. i did hook them up to the crossovers on my rear door crossovers and the speakers themselves do work so I'm pretty sure the amp fried the crossovers.does anyone know if i can get these crossovers repaired or can i buy new ones ? i know that you used to be able to by comp crossovers for these but not sure if you still can since the maxxsonics take over .the set is MB quarts qsc 216's.

that sux about your amp man... and i dont think they would even bother with repairing crossovers unless you are under warranty...... i would suggest just getting bassblockers.... a set can be had off of ebay for around 10 bucks, they come in different frequencys... or look for used crossovers,hope this helps.

thanks man, yea man it does suck but on a brighter note i spoke with the folks over at JL and they said to ship it back and they would repair it for free so thats one problem off my plate. now to figure out what to do with with my front doors.i think I'll shop around for some used crossovers i really don't want to scrap my set of quarts i mean the speakers themselves work fine and they sound so good .

imo audiopipe is kinda like audio bahn.... but not quite as flashy and better quality.... i dont think you would have any problems with their crossovers.... but it would be cheaper to go with bass blockers... i just bought a set off ebay for my 6x8's for $6.05 shipped....

thanks for the advice but i went ahead and contacted maxxsonics directly and they still have a few crossovers from my particular set of quarts in there warehouse so I'm going to go ahead and just buy the MB quarts crossovers from them directly.

good move on your part. those QSC's are an awesome speaker from Quart. depending on placement of tweeter and midbass, the crossover made all the difference with off axis response. On axis was really well too, but I always had to kill the tweet 2db. there was some research that went into that x-over, just shopping for "any" crossover isn't going to do especially a bass blocker.

those speakers back in the day we sold for $800 a set, all day long, and everyday! very rarely any boomerangs or issues with them.

Check to make sure your wires aren't grounded and pop the covers off the x-over and check if anything is burnt or missing
