[QUOTE="Adam Whetham, post: 1952, member: 40"] Link: [url]http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/208650/[/url] Quote from article I'm friends with a few of the technical guys there, and the right now they're going through security footage of the arena. Seems there was a basketball sized explosion out the back of the speakers, and then it started smoldering and burning. Then half of the hang crashed to the Ice. Speakers are JBL PD series from what I remember. Macro-techs powering them. Rigging buddy said the burned cabinets they pulled from the ice had pretty intact speakers still, didn't appear to be the voice coils that burned. Amps are pretty much always on in this venue, not sure why a relay system isn't' in place. Here's a picture of the inside of the arena. I've circled one of the hangs to give an idea. the whole thing didn't come crashing down, by the sounds of it 2-3 cabinets of it did. Not sure if the PD series has a crossover in the back of the speaker? that caught fire somehow and caused a fire? [/QUOTE]
