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?

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

    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.

    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 ;)

    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.
