Mine looked the same. And they kept putting the amp in fault mode which was a problem at the time

It’s a definite possibility I crossed it too low. The Neo’s supposedly play down to 70hz. My crossover **** only goes to 40hz and I’ve never been anywhere near that.

I did try and play a 80hz test tone but I couldn’t get the Oscope to read right during that tone. Obviously operator error. I’m gonna try again.

I remember that Golf. It's when I was trying to feed mine 300 without a DSP 😅

And I think a lot of the problems are from setting the little dials to a certain hz that are not very accurate. It says 80 but could be 110 or it could be 40. Crank it up loud at 75+ mph and play for 2 hours or more while riding and you will blow speakers...I rather be safe and set the crossovers a little higher especially when pushing 200+ watts...like 110-130hz

Thanks soup, I was definitely crossing it too low. I guess these dials aren’t linear. I had 26v when playing 1khz but when I played 100hz at the same volume I was getting 36v. So now I’m crossing at 100 and it seems to play a lot better. This speaker is still playing well but I might have damaged it too much, but expensive lesson but at least now I know.
