Alien-X Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 I was having a small listening session with my friends down in my basement listening from 80%-100% full volume with windows volume at max. Just after about 30min and one song change everything went down hill. All I herd was distortion, first I though the subs blew, but there was no tear. Then i listened in on the sats and they were distoring also. I checked everything from my soundcard to the fuse on the sub. It was all fine. Speakers still dont work. Next day i was just down in my basement again with for a meeting and the speakers were just plugged in and on min volume and all. My power went out and i had to reset the fuse box. Since that my power LED hasn't been turning on. I dont know what to do from now.. I'm waiting for my dad to come back from vacation as I think he has the recuit and its still under warrenty. I think that the preamp might have blew or something but i'm not willing to buy another preamp and find out that it will doesn't work. Has this happened to anymore else ? is there anything I can do ? Please someone help me, i have no clue what to do and I really can't afford to get a new set. ------------------ Alien-X Over and Out "Trust No One, The Truth is Out There" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajachepe Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 The exact thing happened to my set during the first week I had them. I will be getting my replacement back soon. Look at my post in this same topic "Overheated Sub". If your set still's under warranty you should be able to get a replacement. The 4.1's come with a built in limiter that suposse to prevent this from happening,but I am afraid some dont kick in when they should, I will be keeping a close look at this as I suspect more incidents such as this might ocurr to others. You should be able to have some fun with the 400 watts packed in this 300 dollars set.Lets hope everything turns out alright. Good Luck.

Alien-X Posted April 13, 2001 Author Share Posted April 13, 2001 It would be intresting if someone tried another preamp and checked if it fixes things because I still have the old preamp and I was going to upgrade to the new one anyways. ------------------ Alien-X Over and Out "Trust No One, The Truth is Out There" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
