Anyone blow out their speakers?

farmosh203 · 02-16-2010, 10:28 PM

I was driving today and smelt a pretty bad smell when I was listening to music. I had the volume at about 26, then turned down the volume to see if there was any noise, since the smell was really bad. When I went to turn up the volume, I noticed my sound was about 1/4 as loud and the bass was non-existent. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm assuming the bad smell was burning silicon of the power amplifier. Do you guys think this would be covered under warranty?

Bad smell = the former on your voice coils being fried. Smell like sulfur or burning, rotten eggs?

26, those speakers were "screaming" bro. I think 20 or 22 is good for me.

26? You sure it wasn't hearing damage? I don't think I've had it above 20

I keep my volume at 12. Funny, I actually like to stand a chance of hearing emergency vehicles as they approach.

Well it only goes up to 30, so you were damn near topping it out. Did you have the 3-band EQ adjusted in any way?
