Well everything is in and hooked up BUT my mid in my passenger door isn't doing anything.

I need suggestions on what to do the tweeter works but the mid driver doesn't.

please give me some help...

Tomorrow I'm going to check the connections in the driver side door....

    Ya just have to start from the beginning.

    Make sure the leads are hooked up to the mid.

    Make sure the leads are hooked up to the crossover output.

    Make sure the leads are hooked up to the crossover input.

    If still nothing then you may have a bad speaker or crossover.

    yea. i bet it's just the connection in the door.

    i've checked everything else.

    also ANL fuses with 0/1 AWG are a **** to get in.

    Yikes!

    Careful young one! Sending 80 Hz at around 75 watts thru a tweeter usually isnt a good thing!

    Be glad you dont have a $800 paperweight on your hands.

    well i got it all working and tuned for now.

    sounds really cool.... if I paid 800 I wouldn't be too happy with them though.

    but for 160 they are great

    I'm GETTING a Popping noise when I turn it up out of the passenger speaker. I wonder if it's hitting the door panel???

    this is becoming a pain in the ****...

    my door panel on my driver's side is being ghetto now... I don't know why anyone would use staples to secure a panel in a track...

    going to have to take that off tonight and use carpet tacks in place of the staples I think...

    Yeah, factory door panels are way too flimsy.

    What kind of popping noise? Like a static or turn off pop? Does it pop with each increment as you turn it up? Or is it mechanical like its slamming into something?

    I did some spacers...

    no more popping noise... it was hitting the panel... lol

    But my panels do not rattle and i didn't build anything else so support them... i'm very impressed now and i haven't even tuned it... lol
