[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 50056, member: 30"] Re: speakers start on fire at Local Hockey Rink I have actually had a couple of speakers catch on fire. One was from a burnt voice coil that caught the paper on fire. One was from firworks after the concert and a "wayward" rocket landed on top of my carpet covered speakers (with flamable glue). The most spectacular was at a Mexican wedding. Dummy here-decided to cheap out (the band did not pay for lights-but then wanted them anyway-so I just threw up a rack of 4 par 56's w/500 watt bulbs in them and just plugged them into a 20A circuit and put them on top of the PA. no dimmer paks-no stands. A little while later there was all this "activity" around the stack that was away from me. People where shaking up soda bottles and spraying them on the cabinets to try and put out the fire. The bulbs had gooten so hot they started the carpet to burn. OOPS! I've had LOTS put out a good bit of smoke when they "blew". Never had one explode however. But I have had them fall on top of a car-when it ran under the scaffolding and the scaffolding collapsed and dumed the PA on the car and the ground. [/QUOTE]
