introduction and troubleshooting the encore xl
« on: 1 Aug 2021, 09:58 pm »
Hello,

First time here. I just finished building the encores, however only the woofers work - nothing coming through the tweeters. I checked for continuity and everything seems to book. anyone have this experience? Thanks

Welcome to AudioCircle!

Make sure tweeters are not shorted to ground. That causes mute.

Welcome to AC!

I would double check the crossover network for the tweeter, its possible that something was wired incorrectly. It sounds to me like that if the continuity is ok, you might have the resistors positions mixed up, or have too many in the signal path.

Post a picture of your crossover (with the values hidden) and im sure we can walk you thru the process.  :thumb:

You should hear audio from a good tweeter even if it’s wired incorrectly as long as the lead is attached somewhere in the positive side of the circuit. Maybe this visual guide will help:
