Guest SyKo13 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 How good are ya at crimping? lol Soldering is always best way to go ;D Heat shrink FTW :^ I don't think I helped much :'( :'( SK Quote
AP Zoutes Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 sounds like a problem with the x-over. In x-overs they use things (like mini light bulbs) to lessen the amount of power going to the tweets. you maybe overloading them. Try finding x-over units (robot underground sells 'em) or just get some cheap caps from radio shack to test. Run your tweets by themselves (no x-over or mid) and see how they run. YOU HAVE TO either cross your amp or add an external x-0ver (like a cap form radioshack) above 3500 hz or you will fry your tweets. If you have no problems then you know it's the supplied x-over and you can replace them. Quote
ChevyBoy Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 yea thats too much for me to worry about now. i appreciate everything, but im switchin out my comps around x-mas with rf power 6.5 comps and kickpanels with 5.25 rf power comps. u guys have ne opinion on them? Quote
emperorjj1 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 mmm i love the fnq woofers.. never herd a power comp thou Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer

wysiwyg Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 My JL's did that too, just be thankfull your crossover is saving your ass, otherwise you would have blown them the first time around. I would turn the gain back a bit and see if it stops. Quote
ChevyBoy Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Posted October 6, 2006 yea but then they dont get loud :'( Quote
