DBz Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Cause I bought an RF component set and they don't come with crossovers, they're "built" in already but i'm pretty sure thats b/s. They make a popping noise sometimes even on low volume and no bass, could it be a bad ground somewhere? Any input would be great.

skittlesRgood Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 the tweeters popping is from them getting lower frequencies. so ya, you need a crossover. sometimes they will put a cap on the speaker as a crossover, not that i've ever trusted that to be a good crossover.

2loud4uboyz Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 ] Picture of said crossover. Because you do need them bady else the tweeters will blow and blow fast at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBz Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) They're inside the tweeter I believe. Its this component set. I believe they only have a high pass filter.

But still, I wanna get crossovers, which would you guys recommend for this pair?

BanginOnABudget Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) ~facepalm~ that is a crossover. what do you think a crossover is? a crossover network? most crossovers do nothing for the mid, its all -0db@3khz or -3db@25khz. the only difference between your "cap and wires" and a crossover network, is a box. and i could tell you what capacitor to get for the tweeter, just put a DMM on it and tell me the ohm load.

Alright, well thats why im asking, I wanna get rid of the popping noise. They are all 4 ohm, and I have 2 4ohm 6x9s in the back, can they all be wired to 2 ohm?
