harmony08 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 This one sure has me puzzled. I bought a 5650 (one) from a guy, who tells me that he tested it b4 he sent it to me. I hook the 5650 up to my Sony str-da3600es receiver (6.1 suround) and then I get a message on the receiver that flashes protector...and then the receiver shuts down. I put on a Klipsch kg .5 bookshelf speaker - no problem. On a side note, when manually trying to adjust the sound, I tried the 5650 at 10 dB and it was still pretty quiet in the rear (13' away). So, the ? is, do I have a 5650 with issues? I read one post about setting the speaker to 4ohms....Receiver does not let me set one speaker 2 4ohms. I do not c any wires shorting anything out. Hmmmm??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm??? Are you talking about the in-wall/ceiling speakers? If so, they are 8 ohm speakers with built in crossovers. What I completely do not understand is how you are getting any sound when your receiver has shut off due to a short circuited speaker.

harmony08 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Thx 4 the resonse. This is an in wall - right now it is out of wall! I just checked and the speaker works fine on an older Pioneer receiver. The sound I heard was when I was trying to manually configure things with the SONY receiver - tone, etc. I thought I had double checked my wires. Could this b that my wires r crossed - seriously, I thought I had checked them twice.... My volt meter on the 5650 does not show any short. Hmmmm?

harmony08 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Played with things some more.... Problem solved - didn't do anything - maybe just unplugging the receiver and plugging it back n reset things on the Sony ES??? Anyway, the speaker works fine and I am leaving it alone!
