One tweeter quieter than the other.

[Ali]

If i bias the sound to the right is quite quiet....But if i bias it to the left is loud and better quality?

Any idea's?

 

[jonesyx]

check youve got the tweeters wired to the same terminals on each crossover, on mine i can connect to two different sould levels, 0db and -3db

 

[Ali]

HUmmm...ok. I'll ask John on Friday.

You comin to the meet mate?

 

[Djw John]

They are both defo to the same -3db on both, with infintys its a must!

 

[Ali]

Ok mate, i'll let you listen, but it's defo quieter and the quality is defo worse on the right hand side.

 

[cliokiz]

If the speaker distorts at high volumes on one side but not the other then i'd say it has either been wired wrong, it's shorting out, or the output from the head unit/amplifier has a problem.

is that the hermi gate one, if it is i cant make it.

You get it sorted yet?

 

[JclioD]

wiring problem, terminals not secure, or wires touching somewhere (more likely)

 

[Djw John]

MMM ok then, everything was extremly tight when i did it buyt guess it may have come loose, have to take the bloody dash off again!

maybe you should get to the doctors ali! you may find one ears more clogged up than the other and your tweeters may be fine :rasp:

Is this at all volumes or only when being played very loud? As some crossovers have a protection system to stop you blowing the tweeters through distorsion and will reduce the output by up to 12 db.

 

[jamesy]

inside the crossover is there a tweeter attenuation switch?

 

[Djw John]

I had a listen tonight as the fronts were also cutting out at higher volumes (amp is overheating) and the right hand side seems to be slightly quieter at lower volumes and more equal at louder ones which tbh has confused me more!

 

[KDF]

John, if they are leveling out at higher volumes but different at lower (ya didnt mention that at hermi) then it sounds like a dry solder joint or simmilar, along with the overheating (faulty IC by the looks of it) either way I think the amp will need repaired/replaced.

Only other thing it could have been would have been the wrong ohmage, but certainly the wiring that I could see was all correct.

 

[Djw John]

Yeah forgot to mention that to you, cool thanks for the info. Hopefully Ali can sort it for minimum ££

 

[Ali]

^Yep i will, but it was fine all the way home at a reasonable and happy volume for me.

 

[jamesy]

is the amp properly ventilated or does it have a cooling fan which may be defective?

 

[Djw John]

Well its got a fan and we had everything out the boot and it was still doing it with the boot open (at 9pm in Edinburgh!) so its defo got cold air. The fan spins but im wondering if the air ducts could be clogged, its not been used for at least a year.

 

[KDF]

I have a plentifull supply or air dusters.. if you want me to bring one along next time let me know
