Anyone replaced the speaker in these? The Tweeter blew in one in less than an hour in and nowhere near high volume

Never had to replace the speaker. At the low cost that they are, just buy another one. These speakers were never designed to be high volume, they are best suited for background music.

You may want to look into replacing the speaker assembly. Easy to do, and the parts are cheap.

This sound is not normal. I had the same issue with both my speakers when they arrived. I was too curious to send them back, so I took out the speaker and tweeter and found a piece of wood corner brace that had came unglued. I also noticed the crossovers came loose from the inside of the enclosures and were hanging by the wires... I remounted the crossover, took out the loose corner pieces, and put the speakers back together and they woked fine. I'm still using them, and I like the way they sound, but I am disappointed in the build quality.

My speakers were great, but I did note in the reviews that some individuals who recieved the speakers with sub-par tweeters were readily given replacements from Dayton. Also of note in the comments is a direct response from Dayton acknowledging the issue. The company has rectified the issue and all speakers currently sold should be clear of the issue.

When I received the speakers the tweets were included. By the way the sound great. All I can recommend is to break them in for at least a week depending on your time listening to them. To do that listen to them with the volume down alittle basically don't bang them like you stole em. I noticed they sound better than they did when I first got them. Hope this helps and good luck. Also stock decks will hender the performance of the speakers

I have the exact same problem. Going to return for replacement. I happen to have the speakers from the c-3602 set. I'm going to try them and see if they are imbalanced too. That will tell me if its the speakers or not.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

check the wire connection. I have to wiggle mine around to stop static, loss of sound in one ear, and clicking. I always press my connector in firmly to be sure. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying new speakers.

Not my speakers. I do not know if new ones are different but would assume they would change the model number.

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

do the 'mods', i.e., at least remove the tweeters from the faceplates and seal them to the faceplates/tweeters mating surfaces with plumbers putty, and super glue each woofer cones' shield can to the baskets.damping these with 4" of rockwool bats behind the drivers an two inches on the rest of the interior surfaces (save for the duct exhaust areas) will yield hifi speakers on the cheap ;)

You mean the transmitter? I really have no clue. These aren't the highest quality speakers to begin with. Make sure your speakers and the transmitter are on the same channel/freq

Shouldn't be an issue. Drove a pair of speakers rated at 8ohms, 420W with no issues. Only reason I replaced mine was the lack of a sub-out port.

I purchased a set recently (June 9th) and you are correct. The quality has gone DOWN. The set I received had one woofer dead. I contemplated returning them, but instead I rebuilt them. I replaced all the drivers with superior units and now they sound great. My advice is don't get these ones if you already have your eyes on different models. These are junk.

I actually didnt put in these tweeters I left the factory ones in. It would have been a lot of work and really theres not a whole lot of difference. U wont blow the factory tweeters either I have 75 watts going to each speaker in my car its the low frequencies that blow the speaker and that wont reach the factory tweeters. But if u do want to put them in there are different ways too. Its personal preference. Either in the door somewhere sail panel or dash. Idk if your car has tweeters already or not. If it doesnt I would look for speakers with the tweeter in them aready not componet speakers. Its all personal preference.
