i just put them in today was cranking them for awhile and then they gave up but only my 2front 1s not the back 1s and there all the same they felt hot before they went there memphis too but are not silk how and why

 

They felt hot before you blew them? What?

What's your setup? ....gonna need more info

 

ok i got the lc6i went post amp how should it be wired i have a 4 channel amp for my components front and rear and a 2channel sub amp

 

Not enough info for anyone to determine why they blew.
How did you wire components? Did you use x overs?
What are their ratings?
What amp? Ratings?
How did you set up the lc6?

You said you were cranking them.... What were your amp gain settings?
Too much voltage can blow them. Maybe you wired them on the wrong terminals on the xovers

 

If you were playing them fine on and at a decent level, I would assume you blew them due to over driving them (too much gain/voltage) AND/OR your x-over point was too low and at a moderate volume it's okay, but at high volumes it didn't like it too much

 

If you did not use a crossover, that's why you blew them. The stock tweeters have a cap built onto the tweeter. If you just hooked them up to the stock wiring, you were putting a full range signal to them but they should have sounded terrible before they blew.

 

Too much average power over time. That's how.

 

Agreed. Wouldn't you say WAY too much power over time if the tweeters were hot to the touch? What do tweeters usually get, 10w? 20w? I think he had too much power because he was running a full range signal to them. Going back to read his old threads and see if that's the case.

 

Was actually being a bit of a smartass. Since that's how all speakers blow.

 

so should i just hook the front and rears to the main input on the lc6i cause i have it hooked up now to main front sounds good but the back sounds like crap back is on channel 2

 

You haven't given us any info.

 

i have a 4channel amp,lc61,2 sets of components with crossovers, have it post amp,main channel on lc6i with fronts hooked up and 2nd channel with backs,amp is on hp mode. what info are u looking for please explain im about to quit man please help me out

 

You should really just take it to a shop and have them hook it up for you. It will probably save you a lot of time and frustration and prevent you from damaging more of your equipment.

 

I would suggest you do alot more research or pay a professional. If you keep on this trial and error path your going to spend all your money to replace damaged equipment.

 

i can only run my components to the main channel cause channal 2 on lc6i is full range and channel 3 is sub

 

As long as you run the crossover that came with your components with new speaker wire run from the crossovers to the tweeters you should be ok. You would have to really hammer on them to blow the tweeters if it's hooked up properly.

To be clear, the only thing the tweeter should be directly hooked up to is a crossover, not directly to any other piece of equipment. If you used the stock wiring without running new wire, you did not have a crossover in the mix unless there was a cap at the tweeter itself.

 

they said i got bad x overs i was pissed so ijust got me some pioneer 6.5 3ways and put them on and for 160 bucks i cant believe the sound they are so clear will be getting my 400 bucks back from memphis

 

3-way as in a "triaxial" or a 3-way comp set? I love a 3-way comp set. All else being equal they just sound better in every way, are easier to tune, and get louder while maintaining clarity.... all else being equal.

If it's the other one, you will likely have other issues such as stage issues but if it sounds good to you and you're happy, that's all that matters. Do you have a link to the ones you purchased?

 

I doubt he installed 3-way comps so quickly lol, and for 160 they got to be just 3-way speakers

 

To be fair to Memphis, if you give the tweeter a full range signal it's going to sound horrible.

 

they sound great clairity is amazing u be surprized how they sound and for 160 u cant beat that with a bat lol

 

Clarity should sound decent as they're playing 80-20kHz


...what a tweeter SHOULDN'T play
