[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 41171, member: 42"] Re: Up in smoke! These days, there really is no excuse for a fully processed self powered box to blow up like that. IIRC, these are touted has having full protection including rms, peak, and over excursion limiting. Yet I'm constantly reading about failures in the field. Even worse, a fair amount seem to die just turning them on. I've got some 10+ year old SR1530s that have really been hammered and they're still going strong, save for one compression driver that started loosing some output. But I've never blown a driver or even thermalled them driving them into limiting. I don't care how good speaker sounds. If it won't hold up with even moderate use, I ain't buying it. Greg [/QUOTE]
