Driving to work this morning, sounding great up to 90 with a full face helmet. Get close to work, and I hear a pop. The right tweeter is now out. I am assuming it blew, but I'll double check to make sure a wire didn't disconnect somehow.

Honestly, I'm not sure how it would have blown. It's an 8 ohm speaker with the gain set far less than the 601.4s. If it is blown, I'll give the 35s a try with more power handling.

 

I've seen several pictures and have a general idea, but what is on your bike? Also what amp drives which speakers? Are the ST25 supplied with a cap?

 

They are the DTX26t, running 8 ohms off of a Soundstream Rubicon Nano. RMS shows 50 at 8 ohms, so based on my gains, I would be surprised if I hot that number. They are running on individual channels, with a high pass filter on the amp at 4khtz. Because of the high pass filter, I did not put the cap on.

 

I agree that it sounds like you had it all dialed in. I wonder how accurate the xover **** is on the SS amp. Maybe use the capacitors on whatever you replace it with for added insurance. Are the mmats rebuildable?

 

Not sure, but as new as they are, I'm sure they are returnable.

 

MMATs told me if you blow a speaker and l send it in they will rebuild on site and send them back out ASAP

 

I called today and they offered to sell me a rebuild on it. I just decided to buy a new pair of the 35s. They handle twice the power, are shorter and keep the same hole diameter.

I've been really impressed with Mmats, so I am going to assume this is a fluke or I somehow had tuning wrong. Luckily they are very reasonably priced.

 

Yea I know you said you have your crossovers set to 4K but is that going off an amp or a dsp? If it’s off an amp I would probably put the capacitors in line. But yea I agree definitely impressed with the MMATs line up.

 

Good news. GBS is going to send me a rebuild kit for free. I'll run the caps with the crossover off the amp and should be pretty good. I actually already bought some 35s so I'll rebuild the 26s and add those to my new commuter truck to match the other set of 601.4s
