Trey,
Theres nothing wrong with the sub or anything it still pumps major bass with no problems, I just got a little concerned when I felt thr rear driver and it was quite warm. As far as the sound quality ofthr unit I haven't nticed any loss. BTW the room is 25'x 30'x9.5' and it sit in one of the rear corners. If this component that you spoke of was fried would everything still work ok? BTW I use the BLACK BOX that is optional with the SVS Dual Ultra's that incidetally sit on top of my Khorns.
