I bought 2 new 3 way crossovers for my speaker set. I wired the woofer to the W+ W - of the crossover as well as the tweeter to the T+ T- and the mid range to the H+ H-.(the pos and neg terminals on the crossover are in this order, HH,TT,WW). The woofer and tweeter sound perfect and are loud in volume, the 10" woofer im using as a midrange is very low and faint in volume(but sounded far louder when wired to Midrange of my older crossover). What does H H mean on a 3 way crossover?, is it for midrange or ? I did a test and wired the tweeter to the H H, and the volume was also very low and faint but loud on T T, anyone have an idea why? What does H H stand for? Cant find answer on google search. Heres the specs for the crossovers-3-way passive crossover 8 ohm Woofer Frequency: 20Hz-500HzMidrange - 500HZ-4.5KHZTweeter - 4.5KHZ-20KHZ600 watts RMS/1200 watts peak each Edited by nicr - 18 March 2017 at 2:31pm |

^Above is the crossover. Cant find pix of back and dont have camera. I wonder if this new crossover is defective or the H H terminal is 3/4 burnt out? Or is that the way H H is supposed to sound-its very low in volume and faint when mid or tweeter is wired to it and wat does h h stand for? if anyone has an idea, thanks.

stick the mid driver on it for testing and figure it out ? less likely to damage it . No idea , perhaps means something in another language ? ... If you read them upside down it could almost read M L H ?

Yes, swap mid and top (tweeter to H and mid to T) and see what happens.

Not sure if this is helpful but the U.K convention colour coding for wiring signal from crossover to amp racks is
Red = Low Yellow =Low Mid Green = High Mid Blue = High |

What about the frequencies? Can you notice the different bands? Do they sound right? Maybe you should just send the xover back and get your money back. |

"TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE the white retangular item on crossovers get extremely hot like its ready to burn. It must be faulty, time to ask for a refund. "
That is a 20W ceramic resistor and will get hot under normal use, but yes, no point messing around, just get a refund. |
