Possible Elite 5 issue?
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2020 11:49 am
Hi All,
I recently got an Elite 5 installed powering Focal flax 6.5" components up front and Focal flax coaxial in the rear with 2 10" Tid3 subs. The day I picked up my car I noticed static coming through the right front tweeter.
Took it back to the shop and they installed some resistors in front of the Audio Control LC6i which seemed to have fixed the issue. I ended up hearing the static again once more and it started when the head unit was off but the amp was powered on.
Well last night I think the right 6.5" speaker blew as it sounds staticy as well. Called the shop and they are going to swap out the amp with a JL 900w (downgrade for sure) to troubleshoot the issue further. I do not think it's a coincidence that all the issues have been with the right front channel. We even swapped the L/R tweeters and replaced the crossover.
Just posting here to see if anyone familiar with the history of Elite 5 issues has any insight. Really hoping it's not the amp as it sounds spectacular.
Thanks in advance.
