Alpine SPR-17S Components

Voltages looked okay in the regular places, so I pulled it out and tried it in the driver's side. It worked there, so I know the speaker is good. The tweeter works so I know that I'm getting power to the crossover. To check my connections from the crossover to the speaker itself I stripped the wire and connected it directly to the +/- tabs on the speaker. No go. I re-did the connection between the speaker and crossover at the crossover itself, and still nothing.

Like I said, tweeter works, speaker doesn't. Speaker still functions. Connections are good. Does this mean the woofer part of my crossover is shot?

 

Sounds like you fried the crossover.

 

Agreed...sounds like a bad crossover.

 

x3 on the agree. The best way for you to check would be to connect a speaker to the bad crosover. You shouldn't get any sound out of it if it's bad.

 

Good point, I may try that sometime today. Was talking to msall and he thinks this is the excuse I need to go active. Just throw in an RF 360.2.

I've been looking into that. It won't be until summer, but it will likely happen.

 

Eh, I've never been a fan of OEM integral units, but if you're looking to retain your factory HU, then it can be justified. The 3sixty.2 is my favorite of today's units.
