does anyone know how to test the crossovers on sda2s. the tweeters work fine by themselves. when they are hooked to the crossover they stop. is there a way of telling what part of the crossover is bad or is there a test for the whole crossover. any help would be great
thanks

    Depending on which model you have, check the fuses and/or the fuse holder. If there's no fuse, then you have polyswitches on the pcb of the crossover which most likely have gone bad. You can get new replacements from Polk.

    Are they cutting out at higher volumes????

    I have a pair of SRT crossovers that came out with the same problem, they got leant on a bit hard one night on the turps and I am of the understanding it is an easy fix but just got new ones as they were still under warrenty.

    brody05,
    do you know what the easy fix is? i looked for fuses and didnt see any. there are two seperate parts to the crossover, and i tried to reconnect them, thinking i could bypass the problem, but that didnt work. these speakers are old. they are 1980s circa, but are the best ive heard even today, so the warrenty is up. i looked for a number on them but couldnt find it.

    If your not having any joy, try getting an electronics shop to do it, it would be a realitively simple and cheap fix without affecting sound provided good quality replacement part/parts used.
