AMPS AND SPEAKERS

All of our speakers and amplifiers come with a 1 year warranty that covers manufacturing faults.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT BLOWN SPEAKERS & AMPLIFIERS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AS MANUFACTURING FAULTS BUT RATHER AS USER ERROR AND THEREFORE DO NOT FALL INTO THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY AGREEMENT!!

You can blow or damage speakers by:

Under-Powering:
an extremely simplified reason for this is that when the speaker is under-powered it produces more heat than normal which will burn the coil that then causes distortions. Tweeters are particularly vulnerable to under-powering because when the signal is coiled, there are more high frequency signals created, which then causes the tweeter to blow from over-use.
Over-Powering:
putting too much pressure on the tweeter to work, such as forcing a very loud high pitched sound through it.
Dropping the speakers:
the inner parts may be moved out of their place, causing them to brake.
Sudden loud noises:
can cause either the cone inside the speaker to rip or hit the magnet and break.
Distortion of amplifiers:
the user must match the power range of the amp with the power range of the speaker, otherwise either over-powering or under-powering will occur.
Missing the ground cable:
the speaker will sound fine without the missing ground lead until it causes the tweeter to burn out.
