Hi guys,
Need some help/advice on what to do...one of my 3160 crossovers has developed a problem.
For reference...the 3160 is currently being used to passively cross a 4675 which has a 2445j driver with a pair of 2225h woofers.
Ok the problem...
The 4675 will sound fine then out of the blue the whole speaker(all three drivers) will start crackling and cut in and out...like something is shorting out. While it's doing it if I go up to the speaker and tap one of the woofers the sound comes right back. Also it only seems to have the problem when it's playing at lower volumes. As long as it's cranking high spl's it won't do it.
I know it's this one specific x-over unit cause it was originally installed on my right front 4675 when the problem started, but I just swapped the x-over to the left which was working fine and now it started doing it.
So what do I need to do...I guess opening 3160 is the next step...what should i be looking for as a possible source of the problem inside the x-over?
Thanks in advance,
Ken
