I killed my RTi150 :(

disneyjoe7

No it wasn't playing Yanni or John Tesh. My mid driver is dead, what to do next.



BTW for the Record very modest volume, OK not more like Anthy's Level. I thought RTi150 where designed to kill your equipment first?

Dennis Gardner

Check the terminals on the back of the drivers. I shook a few loose on my SDAs.

disneyjoe7

Did that, but my tweeter still works on this speaker.

disneyjoe7

I'll swap the mid woofers to see if that want it is, tonight when I get home.

I was thinking I need to update my amp for more watts, but I seem to blow up the speaker (that sucks) sounds sweet like the bass from these. I like it loud at times, not a long time but... What should I do update the amps or speakers what causing this the amps are too big or the amps are too small.
A23 Halo bridged 400w each.


Confused because if the amp was small I would blow up the tweeter first, but I hurt the crossover on the other speaker now the mid driver on this speaker.

Dennis Gardner

It may be the crossover in this cabinet too. Just showing itself in a different way.

disneyjoe7

The crossover is a pain so no for now.

Sorry Guy's Steve is an Idiot at times.

Name DisneyJoe7 maybe I should be Dizz short for Dizzy...
Email [email]Goofy8@****.****[/email] maybe this is all a insight to me.

disneyjoe7

Ok, all

1.) mid driver swapped // bad speaker now good / good speaker now bad, ok bad mid driver.

2.) What to do if you like it LOUD at times. I must have the power if I blow mid woofers up don't I?

reeltrouble1

buy SDA'S, dont want to hear you dont get it with them.

Steve, you played it to loud for the driver and it blew, you can turn it down or buy drivers, the Halo's would not figure to be the problem.

Ted,

I know the Halo A23 amp is Golden love them. How about another pair of RTi150's and another pair of A23 amps for bridged again. Put these new speaker pair next to my old pair, so I have 4 speakers / 4 amps and 1600watts

disneyjoe7

I should say 1600 watts RMS or 1,000,000,000 WPMP (Watts Peak Music Peak)

reeltrouble1

naw, get two more sets, three speaks per side, one for treble, mid and bass.

You can change your name to JOEPA-150

Should I deal with Polk or Crutchfield directly about this?

RT1 Dizz is ok if Polk Paul called me, I may became the first member here personally named. It's all fine I'm thick skinned.

disneyjoe7

Ok I guess Polk Audio doesn't what too talk with me after blowing up an un-blowable speaker.

disneyjoe7

Just to inform everyone I didn't intend to blow anything. It just happen.
