DD crossover ??
With all the talk about wire coding I was double checking mine luckily I did follow crossover marking not standard wiring idea.
People where talking about how quite tweets where so I decided to disconnect woofers and just listen to tweets also had all other speakers unhooked when I did this found out that l/h tweet was not playing really surprised me considering how much time I have spent tweaking and I missed this. Trouble shooting lead to a bad crossover pic below was expecting to see burnt melted or some thing but boring just dead.
Questions I have
1.when crossover dies dose it send/cause any back feed to that channel that happens to be y'ed to an other amp. Reason ask is that when removed bad cross from system my ears say that channel plus other has much crisper sound.
2.when setting gains I was checking vac at amp and also at the speaker, disconnected speaker of coarse I had tweeter disconnected from crossover BUT crossover still in supply line Never went crazy on gain but is this what could have fried my crossover is this a NO NO

Glad I saw this. Still some warm weather away from my install, but I probably would have screwed this up. Thanks for saving me a crossover.
