I am trying to hook up tweeters. my amp is properly wired. but i can't get music to play through my tweeters.

Question

like i said i have properly wired my SL FX2 420 amp correctly. i am hooking it up into a stock radio system so i bought a converter box to hook up my RCA cables. i took 2 speaker wires from my front speakers and cut into them and wrapped new speaker wire around them and connected them to the converter. (they are inputs) then i connected my RCA cables to the converter (output) then i connected my rca cables to my amp (input) then i cut more speaker wire and connected it to my tweeters but they're not working. though i hears a slight hissing noise and when i try to adjust my amp it does not work and play music through them.

Answer 1

first of all, you did not say what final ohm load its running with the tweeters.

and a huge mistake will be running tweeters without an in-line filter/bass-blocker. if this is not done, the tweeters will not last long and will blow quick if the settings on the amp are not correct, sends a distorted signal, or over-powers the tweeter.

Answer 2

you blew the tweeters man, my speakers did that and i ignored it until they popped and didn't hiss anymore. get new ones, and don't run as much power to them as i suspect you did before. tweeters are so small they need channels of their own to work with small RMS wattage.
