All,
I just picked up some Pinnacle AC 550s, untested, for under $20. But, when testing them, on one speaker for sure both the woofer and the tweeter sounded "crackly" and a bit distorted. I have terrible ears, but this is what I'm hearing. So I switched both the woofer and the tweeter over to a set of Pinnacle AC 650s that I had laying about (came from a smoker's home, just can't seem to fully kill the odor, I think I'm gonna part out the drivers). In the 650s both drivers sounded fine. Again, my ears suck, but this is what I'm hearing. I even tried hooking up the 650 woofer to the 550, and, again, it sounded a bit distorted and crackly. So here's my question: Could the crossovers on the AC 550 be bad? That's my tentative conclusion. If that's the situation, then I can confidently part out the drivers. But I want to make sure I get this right. Thoughts? Thanks!!
