Yesterday, squealing from a faulty cable caused the diaphrams of the two compression drivers I love- The JBL 2416H and 2426H. Besides needing to replace the cable I found it necessary to install some kind of portection for my tweeters. I ran to the local automotive parts store and bought some 12 volt light bulbs like the ones I saw in the JBL MR series boxes I took apart Now I tested the system with some cheaper pyle tweeters in the enclosure with two lightbulbs and as I switched on the CD horn EQ on the back of my amp when the amp started
Delivering about 45-50% of it's power, the lightbulb started glowing dimly, and as the amp neared clipping, the bulbs started glowing with high intensity.
Do you think this method is effective as a last resort with use along with a compressor limiter in protecting tweeters????
If you want to know the overall specs of the system?? just ask
Remember I'm only 17, i have quite a smalll budget especaially in these times and i'm trying to gain as much experience possible in the field.-Thanks
