Posted February 22, 200817 yr So I noticed that my right front stage seemed to be lacking lately.did a close examination...switched the left and right outputs on the amp to see if it might be the amp... but to no avail.the mid works o.k. about 1/2 output I'd say... but the tweet is really seems lacking... did my X-over take a dump?the little light/fuse seems in tack. heat mang. thing...IDK...
February 22, 200817 yr What speakers? What amp? What head unit? What car?And on and on. Give us something to work with.
February 22, 200817 yr Author MB Quart QSD 216's 6.5" mid, titanium tweetOrion 8004 ampalpine 9855... I think, couple year old competition deckJeep 98 cherokee.X-over's are in the doors, probably the problem... moisture or something...gonna relocate them...tried different tweet cut off points, as they give you 5 but still sounded the same.
February 22, 200817 yr Check the crossover "little light fuse". Remove it from the crossover and make sure there is no oxidation on it. I'd suggest using some fine grit sandpaper to get any residue off. I had a similar problem with some MB Q's a few years ago. The crossovers were in the doors, as yours are, which is not the best environment for them. Good luck!!
February 22, 200817 yr I would also inspect the connection points of the crossover components...sometimes the solder joints crack from closing the doors. For a broader test, swap the crossovers and see if the issue follows the crossover...you might be able to narrow it down a bit. Edited February 22, 200817 yr by nstaln
February 22, 200817 yr Author i'm pretty certain its the x-over...and yeah the light/fuse has oxidation on it....I'll clean it up, and see what that does.
February 23, 200817 yr Author o.k.got it.nothing wrong with mid, screams...so I took the input signal from amp, and turned volume way down, and put it straight to tweeter... it worked just fine...so I have a loose connection somewhere...
