I hooked up my CDT components today and ran into a little problem. I used the stock bose front woofer as the input into my crossover and then hooked up the new woofer and tweeter. The woofer works, but the tweeter isnt making a sound. I tried switching the polarity and nothing is working, what could i have possibly done wrong?

BTW is the woofer supposed to play highs, because im getting the full range out of them.

Any ideas?

 

I'm not sure about the CDTs' xovers, but my MBs have dual inputs where you can run 2 inputs into the xover so that you can run the tweets off of one amp and the woofer off of another. I think if you plug it into the wrong set of inputs, it'll only play for that particular output. If you plug it into the right input, then the xover will split the output to its correct speaker.

 

yeah, the cdt's only have one input.

 

Anyone experienced this?

 

Maybe you can try hooking up your mids to the tweeter outputs. If there's sound then you can identify that it's your tweeter that's at fault. Don't go the other way though by putting your tweets to your mid output. That'll damage the tweets.

 

I just hooked up my CDT's a couple weeks ago. Did you order a component set? The x-overs that came with the CL61's have 1 input and 2 outputs clearly labeled "woofer", "tweeter" and "input".

I tapped off the stock woofer wire without a problem at all. My last set of CL61's played all the past 4k but cutoff before 6.3k, they shouldn't be playing anything over 6.3k. You can email CDT and they will give you the x-over points.
