Great video, very good info.
Just ordered ds13 tweeters that came with inline crossovers and I ordered the ds13 300 watt crossover .. do I need to just run my tweeters to the passive crossover with the online it came or do I just plug it up no inline crossover meaning the ones that it came with thanks 🙏!!
So if u have a amp can u go to 40 volume?
hey guys what if im replacing a stock tweeter with an aftermarket. will the stock tweeter already have a capacitor or do i need to run the capacitor also. cant find any answers to this at all thanks
great info
thanks man
Can I use 2 tweeters for a 15 inch speaker the speaker is 600 watts subwoofer
So I need a bssblocker on my power acoustik tweeters that's right above my 6.5 ds18 bullet midrange
Thanks this helped me to decide to upgrade my door speakers
good info and very good products i install all this stuff i love ds18
I am planning to use a 2 way crossover to run tweeter horn and woofer. Can I run the horn straight with a capacitor
What is the capacitor rating?
Good info
Sending this to my gfs 14 yr old daughter. Thanks for the video.
I want good home stereo speakers need something that can stand up to a subwoofer with 2 18s
So where is your shop located?
Where I can get that T shirt.? Can you send me a link. Good advice …..
My question is.. say that you have your 6.5 mid-range speakers, your cross over, and your tweeters.. and your tweeters have a capacitor, or bass filter already connected to them.. should that capacitor be removed, or should it be used with the connection to the cross over?
Keep it
@@The420chemist so connect the crossovers the tweeters came with -> up to the passive crossovers -> then connect the passive crossovers to the amp channels 1and2 ??
If you keep the existing capacitor, the slope is then added together with the slope of your passive crossover. So no, don't use both. Pick one or you'll end up with let's say, a 36db slope on your tweeters, then a 12db slope on everything else. That's not a good thing.
thanks bro
Good video
I have 4 super Twitter's 1500 what's 1 is What arm should I use for them
what 6x9 speaker would you say would be better then the stock 6x9 speakers in a 2007 pontiac grand prix, with the monsoon sound system, i heard that the 6x9 speakers are nearly better then any other aftermarket 6x9 speakers for the car, and i blew one maybe the second one, they are not fully blown but i can tell that one has a mattalic like sound like a tin but the other one didnt sound as clear before i blew the second one, also i can only afford to replace the 6x9 and not the stock amp, and need to know what the best speakers can go in it and sound at least equal to or better
I would go with Skar audio 6x9. They are like 120rms per speaker. Which is more then enough unless your getting a big system. I went with prv 6mr500ndy. They are 6.5" mids and 250watts rms. I got 8 of them in my car lol. Just I'm into competition with my car. I hope the best for you and keep the volume knob up
Rockford fosgate makes damn good speakers. Guaranteed to surprise you with the audio quality and they like never blow if you get the right speaker wattage that you need
I have 2 ds18 6.5s 2 tweeters and 2 jvcs all hooked up to the doors. No amp. And my head unit only pushes 50watts per Chanel. And I was on the way to school, I got there and they were fine and all clear. Then 2 hours later I go get in my truck and they are staticky and disorted
Im running skar what the best amp for highs and mids im a lil new to this lmk thank great video
I’ve been installing car audio systems for 18 years and imo the best amp for mids and highs is a 4 channel Alpine amp. As far which exact one you should get that just depends on the amount of power your speakers/tweeters need and can handle. Go by the rms watts not the peak watts so you don’t damage any speakers or the amp.
I just ordered the skar 3.5 inch super tweeter. I have a aftermarket radio. Do you think I need to get a amp or should I just run it from the radio? Can anyone help?
Sightless_Yt
I have the same question?
Definitely get an amp. That will feed it the power it needs.
You can run it to the hu if you want but if you can afford it then get an amp and it will perform better
I keep blowing my Speakers on H-D I have Sony 1000 and 600 wait kenwood I amp RF peakers
Can anyone help me out ..question ..I have a pair of speakers with two connections ..one high ..one low ..when I put speakers button on Ampe I can't hear the high frequencies ..but when the bothe A and B are pressed with the low frequencies connected it all works why is that
Sounds like bi amp terminals. You need to put in a bridge from positive to positive and negative to negative. Then you can run one cable pair to each speaker
@@FSXgta thanks for your help much appreciated ..and it worked I'm new to this game 👍👍
@@maggiemay621 no problem!
What I want to know is... what happens when you install car speakers with the driver (magnet) against (or touching) the metal of the vehicle?
It's all good
@@tomi-jon8798 good to know. I wasn't sure if the driver would somehow de-magnetize or not.
It won’t damage anything but it will definitely take away from the performance of the speaker because it reduces the strength of the magnetic pull of the driver. It’s not something you want so if you can avoid it I would. I’m speaking mainly about high powered subs tho.
Hey I recently got a system in my car, got four 6.5 and four tweeters too and got sub amplifier and voice amplifier but 3 of the 6.5 stopped working and sometimes turn back on for like 3 sec and turn off again depending on the music I play has happened twice and once more again. Can u plz help me don't wanna go back and get them changed for new ones if they gonna stop working again.
Did you figure it out? Did you install it yourself? Let me know if you still need help understanding something. I'll do my best to help.
You have your gain set improperly and you more than likely are wired too low. What's the impedance of your speakers and how many speakers do you have per channel?
@@Silentjustin06 had the gain to high thx tho.
@@thatunknownguy2680 yes had gain to high.
@@erny6482 oh ok, I figured you probably blew them. Your welcome
SO, QUESTION, SHOULD I CONNECT MY TWEETERS PARALLEL WITH MY FRONT SPEAKERS ON MY AMPLIFIERS INSTEAD OF CONNECTING THEM TO THE HEAD UNIT?
Yea to your amp unless the amp is too powerful for the tweeters
Your talking about wiring a tweeter and midrange together in parallel to a channel on a amp? I wouldn't wire a midrange in parallel with a tweeter. Tweeters are in a different frequency range than a midrange so you don't want them on the same channel. Say you have 4) tweeters and 4)6.5 midrange to a 4 channel amp. You would wire the front passenger tweeter in parallel to the back passenger tweeter to 1 channel on the amp that is going to the front rca output. Then run the driver side tweeters like you did the passenger side to the 2nd channel on the amp. Repeat the process for the midrange speakers to the 3rd and 4th channels. You want all your tweeters wired together on the front channels and all your midrange wired on the rear channels. Sorry it's a year later that you posted this.
@@Silentjustin06 I know it’s a year late, but what if you run a component setup in the front and coaxial for rear.
@@MegaHotdude12345 Are you using an aftermarket radio with 3 sets of RCA OUTPUTS on the back of the radio?
RCA Front
RCA Rear
RCA Subwoofer
Let me know and I'll be able to answer you questions better
@@MegaHotdude12345 your make and model of radio would help a lot so I can look it up and see what features it has
Why aren’t using the DS18 PRO-CFX Two-Way Passive Crossover
I bought DS18 PRO-CFX Two-Way Passive Crossover with 2- super tweeter and 2- 6.5 mid 250rms for front. All 4ohms. Can I bridged them on 2 channel amp ?
And does my crossover DS18 PRO-CFX Two-Way Passive Crossover stay at 4ohm using tweeter and mid on Left and Right?
I have 4 8” rockfords 300rms each BLEW the tweeters on the 4of them Have a avionics 4channel 100 per channel. The low power amp caused the damage to the tweeters? Help
Yes, your amplifier was very likely clipping.
@@nikolapoljak9260 now bought aunex 4 channel 1500 watts still same thing.
Try using a resistor or a bass blocker wired to the positive speaker wire that’s going to each tweeter.
The prv 700ti is a monster tweeter
How can I contact you
Hi Martin, send me an email at pricedrightsaleswal@gmail.com.
@@pricedrightsales441 can you run midrange in Full instead of HPF if your crossovers are set to the speakers frequency range 155hz-10khz. I'm in network mode on my pioneer avh-x4800bs.
Tweeters on front channel
Midrange on rear channel
Subwoofers on sub channel

Is he saying coMpasitors?
Funny that this video is about speakers and such, but the audio upload for the video itself is sub par.
My tweeter goes to eleven..
Nice video, but they are capacitors not compacitors.
Lol "compacitor?" Try again my friend
blah blah blah
RIGHT?
Both of you all obviously have no idea and probably no interest in shit hes saying because this video was 100% on point..
Your ignorant
Who hooks up a tweeter to an amp without a crossover? SMH.. Who hooks up to a factory stereo? You did good man, I just can't imagine doing either of those but I have seen crazier things. Good details for those that go backwards on car stereo systems.
shut up
