Ok so I got them Don like 2 weeks ago or so. I installed them, the install went fine over all. Until I turned the car on, to find out only the passenger side tweeter was working. So I took off the driver side tweeter and connected it to the passenger side crossover. It worked just fine. So now I know the tweeter works. I talked to Don and I shipped him back the crossover that doesn't work and he shipped me a brand new one. I installed that on the drivers side and the same thing happened. So I was figuring it had to be something with my wiring. I double checked everything and then I thought it would be wise to connect the passenger side crossover that works to the drivers side, and it does. So now I know it can't be the wiring right? So I connect the new crossover that Don sent me to the passenger side and I only get the mids to play, no highs from the tweeter. I have it wired the same way as the drivers side door which is now working....
Not sure what to look at to fix this? Seeing that this is my first set of components... I know I set them up properly and everything...

Does Anyone have any ideas......

It's weird driving around with only one side working correctly and the other side you can't hear ****...

My system system specs are as follows
HU- Apline 9827
Component Amp - Alpine 250F (or something like that)

 

Check your fade and balance.

What other equipment do you have in your car?

 

I have a Profile Amp, and an Atlas 15

I did play around with the fade and balance, trying to figure out if that was the issue but it isn't...

 

Is it possible that the crossover could be grounding out on the tweeter side somewhere? Or the tweeter itself? Are you connecting the tweet directly to the crossover? Using any wire to extend it? Are all your crimps solid?

 

Nope no extensions....

 

What headunit are you using? If you are using the oem unit and running the spaekers off an amp, how are you getting your signal? If you are using an aftermarket deck are you sure you don't have a low pass filter set on a rear or front channel output and have that output going to the amp? Are you running an amp to the slc's? Are your filters on on the amp?

 

HU is Apline 9827. It has 3 preamps in the back. One for Subs, Front Stage, and Rear Stage. 99% sure my HU doesn't have a low pass filter on it. Yes I am running an amp : http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...0&i=500MRPF250

Yes the amp has filters on it. Yes they are all set to high pass....

 

Are you sure you have your mid and tweet wired to the right output on the crossover?? Is the mid wired to the input accidentally?

 

I triple checked everything on the side that doesn't work. I took out all the wires on the crossover and reconnected them...

 

Did you try playing the tweeter while it was not mounted and just straight hooked up to the crossover?

 

Yes I did....

 

Good luck

 

I also connected the tweeter to the other side that works and it worked. I know for a fact that the tweeter works....

 

Take pics of your install and poste'm.

 

Ok

 

Sorry it took so long. I didn't have any tools at my apartment.

 

can u e-mail me them?

paragv @ juno.com

 

thats if you posted pics, lol cuz if you did and you used pb, i can't see'em

 

i can see the pics fine

anyhow, everything looks correct in terms of wiring at the crossover.

 

im sure i can fix it, but its gonna cost ya

 

Pics of the amp settings as well please.

 

yo fix it for free Rob you scrub

 

The amp pix didn't come out too great... But ill post them

 

i guarentee its either the rcas, or you have the speaker lead grounded up against the chassis of the amp. you should be using spade connectors on your amp and the crossover.....................

 

But the weird thing is that when I remove say the white rca from the side that doesn't work I do notice a difference in the sounds... Like there are no highs playing. But all the sound is coming outta the mids...

 

whats the channel switch set to on the amp ?

 

You sure you have everything setup correctly on the back of the HU?

The filter switches both say HPF right?

 

I am almost sure there is no switch. I should be able to check it out tomorrow.

Actually, to be honest with you, I haven't checked back there yet. I talked to a few people and they told me if your getting sound, it should be working just fine.

Yes they are both set to HPF... ( I tried low pass and got no sound)

 

Is there any settings on the HU? I think you hve that side hooked up to the subwoofer output.

 

slc265's btw, not 256.

 

No, because I have a sub already hooked up to that output on the HU.... I think I may try hooking it up to the rear stage output...Maybe something is wrong with my front out put...

And it shouldn't make a difference if the wires for the stock speakers are still pluged into to amp on the HU does it?

Ill try new stuff on Wed...

 

You sure the sub isn't hooked up to the rear/front out?

 

Hmmm

I think I will have to check this tomorrow or something. But like I said, I am almost 100% sure I have it wired correctly.
