My system setup. and my slight problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my setup...
Polk audio Dx series front 6.5" components (woofer and tweeters)
Polk Dx series 6 x 9" speakers
Alpine 7" in-dash widescreen
Alpine V12 amp (subs) 500w 2 channel
Alpine V12 amp (speakers) 750w 4 channel
Old school Kenwood tornado 12" subs, free air inverted mounting on bass floor
now, i have a little problem, my left speaker and tweeter stopped working at the same time, I come to find out that the posts were not connected so i re-connected them and now the mid works great but the tweeter barely puts out an sound and sounds distorted.... what could be the problem?

Blown tweeter or x-over is what I would look at first, swap the tweeters, if problem is still on same side, swap the x-overs.

Re: My system setup. and my slight problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (fcm)
what i will do is probably hook the tweeter up directly to the amp and see if i get the same results... i've heard blow tweeters before but this my be something different

DO NOT connect tweeter to amp directly, you can do severe damage to it. 94 </TD></TR></TABLE>
??? why??? it's connected right now (i'm guessing i have a crossover and all) i might just pull the tweets and rewire new ones with built-in crossovers to eliminate the problem (imo a tweeter is a tweeter)

Because there is current-limiting circuitry in the crossover that needs to be present to avoid overpowering the tweeter...

Its really not. Go to a polk dealer and find some replacement tweeters. Your putting thoses cheap ten dollar swapmeet specials is going to do more harm then good.
