PROTECT YOUR TWEETERS! Capacitors and WHY you need them

Рет қаралды 984,092

Күн бұрын

Running component speakers "active" has many advantages, but we MUST protect our tweeters. Low frequency sound, turn on pops, or other system noise can destroy tweeters quickly. Protect them with a capacitor!

Hey friend, thanks for advising people to protect their car audio tweeters in order to limit the low frequency bands. My home lab experience suggest that when you are soldering a capacitor, (4:29) the heat of the hot soldering iron tip under five (5) seconds will not damage the capacitor. But for soldering any other sensitive electronic components (such as diodes and other 'semiconductors') then one might needs a heat sink (and that does not need formal tools but can improvised by using almost any plyiers, such as the needle-nose ones, and rubber bands holding onto the handles.)

Make sure it says "NP" on the label for non-polarized, meaning it has no polarity. Those capacitors are specifically designed to work with the variable AC signal that is speaker audio. If you see ( + ) or ( -- ), the capacitor will eventually fail as it's a polarized capacitor made for DC only.

Some things never change. We did the same thing to protect the HF compression drivers in PA systems in the '70s. You only get 6 dB/octave but that's all you need for the purpose. You can also find a voltage that they blow at (usually more than the rated voltage, so that's trial and error) so it's like a fuse.

@SwordLords1234 5 жыл бұрын

Also a side note, while this is a great practice for customer systems -- A capacitor needs to be a decade lower then its crossover point to offer zero phase shift. this is only applicable with competition grade SQ cars but it is very important for perfect acoustic phase coherency. When using a 4000hz crossover slope with a 24db LR, 4000hz will be 6db down from 8000, and 2000 will be 18db down from 4000- If you used this capacitor then you would be causing a phase shift from 3000 down and on to the critical range where the tweeter hands off to the mid range. In a competition grade car it is important to make sure there are no turn on pops to begin with and one would only have a inline cap in the event of a DSP failure. But this could be likened to having a reliable daily driving car that may not have peak performance but lasts forever and having a race car that is less reliable daily but has much more impressive output in exchange.

@CarAudioFabrication 5 жыл бұрын

For a more exact value, in the grand scheme of things 3.5 vs 4 doesn't really matter as this cap IS NOT the crossover, but just to protect if something goes wrong. The caps in the ACTUAL crossovers are combined with several other electrical components and much more complex. Again the cap on the tweeter IS NOT ACTUALLY BEING USED, until things go wrong.

Another old tweeter protector trick is to put a 12v lamp, such as the dome lamp for your car, in series with the tweeter. I use this on addition to the capacitor on tweeters for stage sound. Lots of watts. Hooked up source, eq, electronic crossover, separate amps for each set of speakers. Just sayin. Get an old tweeter, hook it up like this, run lower freqs to it, see what happens. I blew two tweeters at a summer festival gig one summer. Fortunately I had replacement diaphragm on hand. Easy to change for the next day of the festival. With the lamps, never happened again. Try it. Quick and cheap!

I love your videos and have learned so much! I have a question hopefully you can advise me on. I've got a set of Infinity Kappa 1.4" edge driven soft dome tweeters that I want to replace my factory tweeters with (21 Ford Super Duty with the factory B&O audio). I believe the factory Ford tweeters have a bass blocker so I'm assuming the B&O tweeter circuit is full range. The Kappa tweeter is part of a component set (90CSX) and the crossover specification on the component set is 5kHz. I don't want to use the Kappa crossovers as they are large round (hockey pucks) that won't fit in my dash near the a-pillars tweeters. The Kappa tweeters are 2.5 ohm and based on a 5 kHz low frequency cut off, I could use a simple non-polarity 12uF capacitor which would be 5305 kHz cut off. My primary question is according to your video I should try and set the crossover point between the resonant frequency (Fs) and the published crossover point of 5kHz. I have been unable to find the resonant frequency specifications for my tweeter. Should I just target 5kHz or should I go lower? Is there a typical Fs for a similar size tweeter I could use? I feel that 5 kHz would be safe but I don't want to lose lower frequencies if the tweeter can handle it.

@oniesma 2 жыл бұрын

Amazing video. One question, Since I have an empty slot for tweeter at my car pillar, I want to add a tweeter and I already bought one. I saw that my tweeter already has a polarized capacitor attached to its terminal. So, do I still need to use a crossover for my tweeter? For additional info, my car speaker system is 2pcs "2 way coaxial speaker" and 2pcs "mid base speaker". Appreciate if you could help.

What about the phase delay introduced? For example if we have at 4500 Hz a 2nd order low-pass and a 2nd order high-pass filters, the former for the Woofer and the latter for the tweeter we obtain a flat freq response, but with this capacitor we add a new pole in the transfer function of the overall tweeter High pass filter. And what do you think about having that kit Focal KX2 120W 2 Ohm in each door powered by audiocontrol d-61200 which has 200W per 2 Ohm Channel? Thank you Mark I love your Channel. P.S. I have used MATLAB to tune the band pass filters of the dsp and crossover together with and without capacitor and in the second case It Is a bit difficult ti obtain an Ideal flat freq response. With your experience What do you think?

Was planning on using a 3 way crossover to connect a supertweeter and a 8" midrange and then connecting it to a lc4.800 bridged to get more power to the midrange(400rms)@4ohm.also how do I make sure the tweeter doesn't get no more than 100rms or less.would the capacitor n crossover,dsp take care of that? and using dm-810 DSP to adjust.

@madmat2001 5 жыл бұрын

FWIW, 100V @ 4 ohms is 2500W. As to a poly cap versus an electrolytic, the poly cap won't dry out over time and shift in value like the electrolytic. You could end up with the cap lowering in value to the point that it drops below the desired frequency. Granted, this takes some time but some of us run the same gear for years.

(5:08) I think "AccuBASS" harkens back to AudioControl's Phase Coupled Activator, from back in the late 80s to mid90s(?). I have two of their old PCAs for home use and I will always have a soft spot for them. I prefer dbx's 120x-ds for bass restoration, though. It's more granular as for as the range of frequencies it uses for the restoration circuit. But we're talking 6 knobs on a dbx compared to just 1 or 2 for an AC unit, so it's a no brainer as far as which is more simple to operate. Anyway, I've rambled enough. Nice video! :)

@SuperMDank Жыл бұрын

I would guess that you placed the capacitor on the incorrect lead of the tweeter. The capacitor should be on the positive side *if* the negative terminal of the amp (and the tweeter) is grounded. The capacitor will charge with the voltage that causes the turn on pop. If the capacitor is on the negative side. The tweeter will float up to the turn on voltage, and in the process of going from 0 V to V_turnonpop will make the noise. With the cap on the other side, the tweeter never changes voltage, and the diaphragm never moves. However, the turn on pop will not damage the tweeter regardless of where the capacitor is relative to the tweeter. The noise in this case is the momentary charging of the capacitor (which takes 1/F in time, less than 1 msec). Without the capacitor, there is a DC voltage on the tweeter (at all times) and thus a DC current which sifts the diaphragm at all times, which damages it, especially when music is played on top of this DC voltage.

2009 Chevy Avalanche. Just installed Pioneer amp and 4 Pioneer 6 1/2" door speaks. Adjusted amp gain within specs and sounds AMAZING! But.....after cranking for 2 days during my 1 hour commute the factory tweets became raspy. I now have Pioneer TS-A300 tweets ready to install. They will fit stock location but I'll have to hot glue them in the A pillar factory speak cover. They came with HPFs filters. Comparing the stock ones to the Pioneers, the magnet on the stock is much larger. I figure it's a cheap material compared to the Ps. Gonna hook up the Ps tomorrow & see if they sound better. Wish me luck.

@gunsofsteele 5 жыл бұрын

So I used jumper wires to attach the Pioneer tweeter in place of the left tweet and it initially sounded better then the factory tweet at 90% volume. I then played a high pass frequency tone on youtube from my phone. About 45 seconds into the tone the tweet started smoking then it stopped all output. I removed it & put the factory tweet back in. The Pioneers are rated 100 watts continuous. My amp puts out 60 watts max per channel. I used my Fluke meter to compare the now bad tweet with the one I had not used yet. The tweets and the high pass filter they came with both tested the same, 6.6 ohms for each tweet & 6.9 micro farad for each HPF. I put the bad tweet back in and it played the test tone for about 20 seconds till it started smoking. I am going to return the Pioneer tweets. Anybody got a recommendation for a great tweet?

Mark, great video- quick question- I just purchased the lc 6.1200,& am using a audison bit ten d dsp. I have switched my mids,& tweeters directly to the lc6.1200-( active) as you know, I can not turn off the crossovers built into the amp. I have the dsp for tweeters at my crossover point,& for added protection, I have the front channel of the lc 6.1200 also set to that same high frequency. In doing this, in case the dsp stopped working, isn’t my lc6.1200 crossover point acting as a “fail safe” protection for my tweeters, vs. adding the capacitor? Thank you in advance for answering this question:)

This was good but you also need to watch the voltage ratings if your doing extreme output 100v is not hard as you move below roll off point the effective impedance climbs so i personally rate the caps to the rms rail voltage of the amplifier I'm using i have had a few full bridge amps that can hit 200v with very little effort.. to know the rms voltage set gains and play a 60hz tone with nothing on it and use a dmm in ac mode on the speaker terminals if your dmm is a true rms unit(like a fluke 117) you can use some other frequency but not over 1khz.. also when you set gains it's best to do it with a load on the amp.
