Crackling in the tweeters, components
I'm having issues with my new cars speakers.. its got a component setup (apline, I believe) I'm not sure where the crossovers are, but I do know it had the Monsoon system.. the components were re-wired to the headunit.
I'm using the Pioneer P960MP headunit, and the components are being powered off it (I know, not perfect.. but its a good temporary solution.)
Anyway, the problem is on certain (in fact, most) songs, the tweeters crackle. I've tried rewiring the headunit harness, switching the pos and neg in case I got them backwards, etc.. nothing fixed the crackle. I don't know where the crossovers are, so I can't adjust anything there. Hopefully theres something simple I'm missing, or something not quite configured right. Thanks in advance.

The crossovers are not in line, or anything like that -- but is actually nothing more than the capacitor at the front stock tweeter components. The only line that does not get a full signal is the woofers in the sails -- the amp passes through them through a LPF - but other than that, all filtering is done at the speakers.

To fix this....you can integrate the crossover into your setup, or look at your old tweeter, find the capacitor (observing exactly how it is mounted) and include that in the ckt. with your new tweeter.

If your components wired directly to headunit you will never get a good sound, as HU output well below recommended for components. To try fix problem - locate crossovers, check whether they are not damaged/connected correctly (I've seen "installs" when tweeters were wired in parallel to midranges without crossover lol). If everything fine, you tweeters probably blown.
