      random speaker burn?

      ive been running pionner speakers with amp for over 3 months, later today randomly i here a huge POP noise, i though it was a snowball, then happend again and again, before i realize it was the back speakers i open the trunk do a few test from putting the sound to 0-5 and makes more pop, then relize the speakers is smokeing!!, now i dont understand why this happen i took the speaker apart and everything looks fin, but smells realy bad!, what should i do how can i test anything. everything was new when i bought it, and i havent blasted the speakers in a while, so why would everything start to burn now, and only the 2 back speakers, are these speakers scrape, or still good, they seem fine, but the magnet smells real bad!


      pionneer TS-G4643R 130 watts peak

      with a dual amp from walmart 600 watts peak

      thanks

      You probably fried the amp by clipping the signal. This is what happens when you buy sub par quality components from wal mart

      You set the gain too high. And you say it fried a speaker then you say you changed the amp and everything worked, well which is it?

      And over time low quality components fail. Regardless of how new or old, things break.

      If your speakers are fried then changing the amp wouldn't make a difference....

      could be the amp itself had a bad solder connection internally that was good cold but as soon as it warms up opens creating the popping sound.. just my .02
      Sorry officer... with all of your stickers and strobes I thought you wanted to race

      lots of reasons electronic can fail.

      its the reason some electronics cost more than others 99% of reliability is assembly of the components.
