Hawg Wired System Acting up
Hey Guys,
So I dug into a system today on a recent new purchase. Its an 07 SG and the guy before me had a ARC Mini amp installed along with some Hawg Wired 6.5's. Guy seemed to have done a good job everything was soldered and was cleanly installed. Anyways, the crossovers had what looked like insulation inside the cases and were getting really hot (to where some of the plastic housing was melting). My issue is that my left speaker was cutting in and out so I tried to switch the speakers around and now I am only getting good volume from the left and the right is extremely quiet. The amp is set at about 110 on the crossovers, high output, and minimal bass boost. I ordered new cross overs from Hawg Wired and hoping this will solve my issue but if anyone has experience/advice please let me know.

Blown speaker?
It happens. if you're fairing is still off you can GENTLY push on the main cones and see if they are smooth or they feel 'scratchy'. If it is then the insulation on the coils has melted and you're done [with that speaker].
I had a set of Hawg Wired 5.25 blow and upgraded to the 6.5" set. I should consider selling the DCS amp and replacement 5.25 set...

I dont remember the part number off hand. I thought it may be blown but I set up each speaker separately and they both sounded good. I will post more Tuesday after I swap cross overs. Crossing my fingers that fixes all issues

Alright guys so an update... I got the new crossovers in the mail today. Part number XR04-200 from Hawg Wired. Installed them and made some amp adjustments and I am very satisfied with the sound, it is freakin loud!!!! My speakers are HW ZX654-100 and my amp is an ARC ks125.2 mini. Little bit of an older system but with that quick fix it still sounds great. Very pleased with it.
