Hello,
was on my way home to my folks which is a 2hour drive, had the music cranked and then i smell a bit of burning plastic, my tweeter goes all crackley...turn it off so;
just wondering if it'll be blown or what the go is as i liked having the tweeter (driver side), sounded so much better...

seemed to cook where the wire joins the actual speaker...can i fix??

time for a replacement,.. Sounds like you were giving them more then their continous rating for it to burn out like that ..

yes continuous rating???
running off a **** head unit might be getting 10wrms out of the 50 they want...also had bluetack on the bottom of it still to hold it in place till i put them in their pods??

definately ****ed?? can you buy single tweeter replacements??

What splits?
Decent replacements will set u back $100, may be better to upgrade.

kenwood's one of their best cheap stuff worth a few of hundred bucks (back in the day), they went pretty good especially when considering they were running of a 40watt tape deck and cd player...

would i have to go through anyone in particular to purchase a replacement tweeter or do i have to buy 2 tweeters, this is gay

You will have to buy a set if they still stock them at all.
Otherwise u can buy some generic tweeters, or another higher end set.

thanks for the help, probs go kenwood even though their not the best, i'm an alpine (who make kenwood too??) man and i want to get their top of the range splits mate has some old ones and i haven't heard any other that rival personally...thanks heaps again

Kenwood strikes again !
Consider replacing the Kenwoods with Pioneer or Clarion. I am using a Clarion Tweeter with my front splits and they are clear without being too bright.. At last Check a Set of Clarion Splits were in the Low $150.... I would go audition a few and see if you do not like them better..
I have seen many Kenwood Tweeters burn out.... all the People I have spoken to have suffered similiar fates and they have now upgraded to either Clarion, JVC or Pioneer...
