do i need a seperate amp for my tweets? it can be aranged

 

this is the amp




these are the tweeters



please help this is anoyying!

 

They might be going into protect from too much power or a clipped signal. Putting them on their own channels so you can fix the gain level could help.

Then again, I could be completely off.

That is your answer....
Most tweeter have whats called a poly switch
this protects the tweeters from damage by opening up
AT HIGH VOLUME LEVELS !! . Once volume
is lowered and the switch closes the tweeters work.

Make sense now..

 

the built in crossovers for the tweeters protect the speaker from blowing by restricting the amound of power going to it...

yeah they come back on when i turn it down

THEY ARE GETTING 20 X 4 WATTS! AND THEY STILL CUT OUT

I GUESS ROCKFORD FOSGATE DID UNDERATE THEIR OLD AMPS ALOT MORE THAN WE THOUGHT!

 

another reason why they may cut out at high volumes is because the crossover also protects them from distortion (which kills skeakers). so, if they begin getting distorted signal the crossovers would cut them off.
