Unhappy Up in smoke!!!

Last night I was playin my ride LOUD when my ish went up in smoke. Basically I hit 30 on my HU, which I have never done before, and my subs stopped suddenly and I smelled smoke.

The reason the subs stopped working was because I blew the 100amp fuse going to them. The reason why I ended up smelling the smoke was because I blew one of my tweeters. One of the tweeters plays so quitely compared to the other that I am assuming that it is gone. Also, the tweeter is now ligned up crooked.




...right now I have my Quarts running of my Perfect x-over...I hope this will be ok for a few weeks so that I can atleast listen to the radio.

if they are quart tweets it might be longer than that...be sure to call about every two weeks..when i worked there we were always out of quart stock and it comes over on a boat from germany....takes forever.

Infinity Perfect crossover doesn't have any tweeter protection? That sucks, i would have just kept the quartz

Infinity speaker's 4-8 weeks for a warranty return seems like a lifetime.

From my personal experiecne with mb quart speakers, i sent some back under warranty, i think i had new ones within 3 weeks.

Well, I did have the tweeters on +5dbs on the x-over...they was maybe bad...but it was hard to hear them in the kicks.

Fonto,

I'm curious as to why you went with the q-form panels for your comps instead of going indoor and using the stock sail panels for your tweets?

Did your crossover die as well?

Because the Perfects are reccomended for kickpanel installation according to Infinity.

i am not sure about the x-over...i think it is ok.

deuce - he appears to have a coupe - check his pictures. That's why I asked.

Fonto - did you compare mounting the tweets to the sail panel vs the q form? I'm wondering how it affects the sound stage.
