.... are u nuts? did u hear wot the man said? he fried his!
OMG, I'm so LMAO.
.... but I do sympathise with anyone the cooks a speaker, but I'll still larf..... heh heh heh.
I'm cruel aren't i?
.... and THAT's why i learnt to repair speakers many many MANY years ago. i keep myself employed.

Lmfao to funny!!! Maybe I need to look into speaker repair myself because I got a feelin this will happen quite often.

generally with an amp with sooooooo much headroom, you'll never hear the damage being done 'till AFTER it's done.
at least with an under-powered amp, you'll hear some sort of distortion first, which can at least warn you of impending disaster.
compare it to having you head 'Ground' off instead of cleanly chopped with a Guillotine. (or however u spell it, i don't care.)
the point is, with a clean chop, you just don't know it's coming 'till after you're dead.
with these WOPL Arc Welders, YOU NEED Limiters, set at the threshold of wot your speaker can handle with a proportional amount added for the peaks so as not to squash anything until you're actually in trouble.
having a limiter on your system will not degrade it otherwise, and you wouldn't even know it's there, unless your in head chopping territory.
so there..... bring on more heads.....

 

[derek92994]

Is a limiter at line level or speaker output level?

it's at line level pre WOPL's input.
ur just limiting wot goes into it so it's not amplifying certain peaks or program into voltages ur speakers just can't handle.

Just lucky I have the D9's. With a 108db sensitivity rating my ears give out before I get anywhere close. And then there's the rattling shit off the walls.. downstairs... that my wife isn't too keen about too.

Although I did have to RESIST .. TWICE.. when seeing another pair of D9's for sale locally here. Damn this hobby, damn it all... LOL

You could use magnets hidden behind the picture frames to stop them from falling off the wall, just sneak them in when she isn't looking

Damn that is a nice price, even if the woofer surrounds are rotted (worst case scenario).

Man I know... I think the E series isn't that old tho, which on the plus side means the chances of rot are pretty low. Bad side.. well.. could be the old saying that they don't make them like the used to.

No room... other things to do today... I'll succumb to "MBW" (murder by wife)

(what else can I tell myself to NOT reply to this?)

I have a pair of dx-7's and at-15 also but there not modded at all and personally the mini monitors and sub combo sound waaay better then either of those sets.so they sit in the corner.. Yea the e series are newer and cheaper than the d or dx or at series's.

Excellent tip man, thanks. That makes it easy...

Just hooked up my Polk monitor 5's.. Yeah right lol the little kirksaeter's blow these out of the water.

 

[Skynyrd77]

God this sucks I fried that voice coil. If I ain't careful I'm gonna fry these kirksaeters and polks lmfao. Damn p%~~y ass speakers... Where's the f%^#ing beef... Got the best amp I've ever heard and I'm limited to 80 measly ass watts. But if I hook up the big cerwins I'll get loud but the detail will not be there at all.... Aarrrggghhhh

 

[Skynyrd77]

Jeez I've been here since January and have 2500 posts already. Does that mean I'm a loser with nothing else better to do. Or does it show my love for this place? Or maybe I talk to much. Hmmmm

 

[laatsch55]

Jer has rebult the crossovers in his D9's .....i don't think it took much....
