hi im currently doing my tweeters i got my components to work but not my tweeters i gutted the entire bose system out, and i read just about every 'tweeter' thread there is on this site and i am now totally stumped =(
i have jl xr650 components and they come with tweeters

i first tried to test out the tweeters by using the front left + - from the head unit into the input in my crossover then output into my tweeters
btw if it matters i spiced the wires for my tweeters there are no plugs like the stock on just wires, anyways this attempt failed i got nothing

second try, i read on another thread that i needed to tap into the stock tweeter wire and put that into the input tweeter then output it into my new tweeters again i got nothing

can anyone help me? thx

 

Sounds like the tweets are blown already.

If you have an ohm meter put it on the 1X setting and read the resistance across the coil. A blown tweeter would read infinite.

 

i dunno if they are blown they brand new and my stocks were working fine before i install the new system and i plugged them in and no go

 

did they make a little blip of sound when you first plugged them in ... like just for a millisecond and then stopped?

 

didn't turn on whatsoever, i plugged in the stock tweeter and again nothing, i think it might have been the HU wiring but i checked that and again nothing frick i am so depressed the component speakers work but the easiest thing i can't get

 

do you have sound from the midbass speakers?

 

yup i can get my midbass speakers (component speakers) to work but both my tweeters are not working

 

hmmm ....

heres my idea of how you set it up.
is that correct?

hmmm ... that sure as hell didnt work lol

ok .. kinda fixed it ... you get the idea

 

kinda like that, but i will amping the components i just did that kinda setup to test the speakers to see if they worked and the crossover is the one that comes with my speakers i have 4 one for each speaker

 

do i input the stock wires into the input crossover? it says on it "not in use"
wierd, thats what i've been doing maybe i shouldn't put the tweeters in the crossovers? i'll try that

 

ok, so i got the tweeters to work i put the head unit wiring front left + - to the tweeters without wiring them to the crossover so i guess i found the problem -_-! thx for everyones help
i hope this works
