6.5 comps, distortion

Mithrandir · Post by **Mithrandir** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 1:07 pm

I was wondering why my jl xr 650s are soundin kinda crappy on certain songs, the highs atleast i think the highs are crackling sounding, not like the blow 4 inch speaker crackly sound but kinda similar. Im giving them good power, low gain, i dont have em sound deadened and im using burnt cds so im not sure if the speaker is damaged (which would be the install shops fault) or if its noise from the door panel, mounting hardware or just crappy song quality.

please help

->"and im using burnt cds"<-

That's most likely the problem. You probably didn't hear the flaws out of your factory speakers because they don't reproduce treble or upper midrange well enough for you to notice. Compressed music and/or crappy recording quality makes everything sound awful, especially treble. The better the speakers, the more these flaws are noticed, which is why well recorded material is a must. Take a good SQ CD, then evaluate the speakers. If they still give you problems, then we'll go further in depth.

well the tweeter must be damaged, i faded it to the passenger side you hear the noise, i faded it to the drivers, no noise. I called the shop they are gonna check it out wednesday, what should i do?

Are they going to replace the speakers for free? If so, let them do it and see if that fixes the problem.

did you buy the speakers from that store? if so they should get their ass in there fixing anything that went wrong. even if they didnt sell it they should still check it out.

If you bought them authorized, then they should replace it no questions asked. JL warrants for 90 days, 1 year if you have an approved install. These things happen, especially with something as delicate as a tweeter, and it's important to know who you're buying from. Otherwise you end up with equipment that has serial #s burned off so companies can't track them down.

may just be a loose wire, too.
have those things deadened too.. it'll help the midbass response.
mat the doors, etc.. very helpful.

"may just be a loose wire, too."

Could have even broken at the solder point considering the dinky lead wires manufacturers put on tweeters. I hate that.
