Posted August 13, 200817 yr Hi, anyone who experienced these symptoms?* speakers are 6.5in. woofer and 1 inch tweeter, sometimes the left woofer stops playing while the tweeter is good. They're properly wired in their crossover. The woofer comes back whenever I adjust the volume at high level. * At high volume level, it sounds like you're playing the wire connection of the woofer, it's on..and it's off.. and on.* There are instances that the right woofer has the same problems too.* And sometimes the tweeter on the left channel stops too I already checked every connection and they're properly terminated.What could be the problem here?separates are RE XXX6.5camp is Sundown SAX100.2Help
August 13, 200817 yr i had a similar problem and in my situation there was a loose wire that was hitting some metal and was putting deck in protect mode
August 14, 200817 yr Author Might have blown the mid. j/w how'd you set your gains?I guess not because the problem occurs like 5 times in a 30 minute continuous playing. They're still sounding great even at high volumes. Gain's set at 1 o'clocki had a similar problem and in my situation there was a loose wire that was hitting some metal and was putting deck in protect modeIve thought of some loose wires, but I already checked all termination and my crossovers are nicely tucked inside the doors.Generally, these components are very good. But it's annoying whenever a woofer comes out while I'm enjoying the music.
August 14, 200817 yr Might have blown the mid. j/w how'd you set your gains?I guess not because the problem occurs like 5 times in a 30 minute continuous playing. They're still sounding great even at high volumes. Gain's set at 1 o'clock I'd still guess yes. There are different stages of blown. If you've checked your connections and everything is fine there... I'll stick to my guns and say you popped 'em.And simply placing your gain knob at "1 o'clock" is not setting your gains correctly.

August 14, 200817 yr have you taken the speak out of the door yet? if not do it and put a dmm to it to see the ohm rating. also might wanna play it while its out to see if you can see anything grounding out or what could cause it to stop playing suddenly. also have you checked your rca wires? maybe one of them is bad and is causeing the speak to stop playing randomly.
August 14, 200817 yr I raised the gain to 1 o'clock because my HU's preout voltage is too low, 3volts I guess.3 volts is not that low of a preout voltage, not that preout voltage really matters all that much in most situations.
August 14, 200817 yr When I had a speaker cut out then had to crank the volume to get it to come back on, the amp was the problem.

I don't know how to check the RCA wires. How's that? I raised the gain to 1 o'clock because my HU's preout voltage is too low, 3volts I guess.3 volts is not that low of a preout voltage, not that preout voltage really matters all that much in most situations.I turned the gain a little bit coz I can hear some hiss at 1 o'clock. It's now at 10.When I had a speaker cut out then had to crank the volume to get it to come back on, the amp was the problem.Really? I'll consider that. I'll hook 'em up with other amp and see if the it's the culprit.Thanks to you guys.
August 22, 200817 yr Author headunit changed, wires are checked, amp is ok. here's a vid. the right channel has the problem. would this be a blown woofer?[url="http://s536.photobucket.com/albums/ff325/attaboyong/?action=view
