gsxr970 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Can someone tell me if it's normal for my right and left front speakers to sound completely different from one another? My left speaker's tweeter sounds really muffled compared to my right speaker which sounds crystal clear. Any idea's that might help would be greatly appreciated!!

TasDom Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Make sure the jumpers on the speaker's terminals are secured Also: swap the left / right connections and see if the problem stays with the speaker or moves to the other one Edited April 24, 2015 by Tasdom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr970 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks Tasdom, I thought of that after I sent the question. I'll test it in the morning. I'm not using any jumpers, I'm bi-amping these speakers. Chad Edited April 24, 2015 by gsxr970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Bi-amping isn't really helpful when you have passive crossovers in the speaker. Maybe try a single set and reinstall your jumpers. Maybe there is a problem with your actual wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr970 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ok, I swapped the cables and the tweeter not working switched sides. I do have 4 Audioquest jumpers so I'll see if that fixes the issue, if not I'll try different speaker cables. Thanks for your help guys!!! I really appreciate it.

gsxr970 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Issue resolved. I used the jumpers instead. And everything sounds great. I noticed that one of my cable plugs might not have been screwed in properly. So what you're saying is that the additional power I'm sending to the speaker by bi-amping isn't beneficial? Just curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The additional power in passive bi-amping is dissipated as heat in the passive xo. This subject is always a hot topic, he. he. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr970 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ok, guess I'll continue using jumpers then. Thanks for your help!! Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
