Did it go back to normal? try turning your system off for a bit and then turn it back on. Sounds like the amp to me. |

Silver Member Username: Tc_skierPost Number: 189 Registered: Oct-06 | if im not mistaken, they dont have protection. regardless....i opened up one and couldnt find anything that looked burnt at all. if the crossover would have blown, something would have had to burn right? the crossovers appeared fine. i used my radioshack DMM to try and figure out what the resistance was at each set of terminals but i kept gettin number that didnt make sense....nothing was even close to 4 ohms. this is what i used: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103174&cp=&fbn=Price%2F%2 410.00+-+%2449.99&fbc=1&fr=StorePrice%2FRSK%2F00001000%2F00004999&kw=multimeter& parentPage=search , should i try this other one that automatically selects the range for you? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?parentPage=search&summary=summary&cp =&productId=2104114&accessories=accessories&kw=multimeter&techSpecs=techSpecs&cu rrentTab=summary&fbn=Price%2F%2410.00+-+%2449.99&custRatings=custRatings&feature s=features&fbc=1&fr=StorePrice%2FRSK%2F00001000%2F00004999&support=support&tab=f eatures ?? im still thinking its the tweeter but i dono.... |

Silver Member Username: Tc_skierPost Number: 192 Registered: Oct-06 | k thats what i thought. talked to cdt today. they're not sure why they both blew at the same time. they want me to send the tweeters back in since the crossovers aren't burnt up or anything. ill admit im quite worried about something happening and eD and CDT both end up blaming each other. hopefully it works out though. anyone dealt with CDT's service before? John is who I'm working with if you have had any experiences with him. |
