Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2839 Registered: Mar-06 | Well. I installed them today, by install, I wired one up to hear it. Put 50 watts on it off a Zapco set to HPF 200 and 0 gain, no BB. It took me longer to write this then the tweeters held out. Man im pissed. I dont know if these were defective or what, but never again will I buy "off Brands". Im gonne Email Beyma and see if they sell replacement coils for em. Otherise, just a cool looking paperweight. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sIm just light up my...... Post Number: 2784 Registered: Feb-06 | even the beymas say 25 rms... why throw 50 on an off brand? |
|
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2840 Registered: Mar-06 | cause they claim 275 wrms. 500max, So 50 should have been a walk in the park. Again 0 gain.mid volume. They were lucky if they seen 15 before they went south... |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2841 Registered: Mar-06 | ^^^^Exactly. I opened one up and there was a piece of electrical tape holding the coil wire to the terminal. Im gonna bring em back to the dealer and see what he says. He said they were not returnable, and I got no reciet either. And they wearnt cheap either. Is they were $25-40 a set. I wouldnt care. But $120 for the set is a lot for 30 seconds of tweeters. I could have bought drugs and they would have lasted longer. The dealers a good guy, so maybe hope he will work something out. |
