Ok, crap. One of my tweeters is making a horrendous popping noise when played at moderate levels. One tweeter, and one tweeter only. Before I go ripping everything apart, any ideas as to what causes this?

 

happened all of a sudden?

 

Order:

- Install 3-way setup (passive)
- Use old-skool Alpine HU (no popping...distortion all-around at higher volume levels due to crappy 2V perouts)
- Install Alpine 9833, popping on single tweeter (not whole system)

 

The installer

 

hmm, gains are re-adjusted for the increased pre-out voltage? but then again it doesn't explain why it's only happening to one tweeter...

 

The tweeter may be on its way out. I know it sound weird but its possible. How long have you had the tweeter installed? If your running active try raising the HPF on the tweeter.

 

Not active. Yeah, I am thinking it may be on its way out as well. GAY! I will disconnect the tweet and run everything at a higher volume...

 

The Egay seller didnt give ya a warranty?

 

hrmm.. same thing happened to me and on a buddy of mine's, in the rear speaks, turned out the channels on the amp was just bad, or just the RCA inputs, or something, either way it was the amp.. hope thats not the case with yours..

tho im sure your amps were better than mine

 

No. for me. There was a warranty, BUT the warranty expired. Methinks I will be needing to buy a new one. Does Dyn have a single tweet for sale?

 

Huh? Their own warranty? You havent even had em that long. I coulda just swapped em for ya.

Not sure if ya could buy singles, definately pairs tho...

 

Welp, found the problem...sort of. The tweet "crackles" ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING.

 

weird.....

 

I think 'infuriating' is the proper term.

 

I had a similar problem, it was my headunit that was causing the problem. Try switching rca inputs from different channels and see if that causes the same issue.

 

Speaker is picking up some sort of interference. (Just a thought)

 

GAYYYYYY!!!!

Alright, that at least gives me something to try. I am not going to get the chance to do this until Monday, let's see if we can shut that sucker up.

 

If it makes you feel any better, my passenger tweeter gets a very low interference sound when my CC is fan is blowing. Sounds almost like a squeaky fan bearing. I suspect it's because I tapped into the door speaker wire, didn't run new wire.

*tomorrow's task=rewire with new wiring*

 

Well, teh Don ran the Stinger Expert™ wiring...I can't see that as being suspect.

 

The problem I had was also only when the car was on, never did it do it when the car was in acc pos only.
