[QUOTE="Goldtaz1, post: 2337794, member: 555012"] Hey guys, I just wanted to get some feedback for a friend of mine regarding a situation that we have run into. My friend recently decided to hook a 2 channel up to his door speakers (BTW, they are coaxial) and in doing so we went from good intentions to bad consequences. Apparently when we plugged in the speaker wire into the terminals on the amp, some of the wire from the positive side and some of the wire from the negative side were somehow touching. When the amp was powered on the amp shot some sparks and then billowed smoke. Yes I do realize this was pretty bone headed, but there is a twist in the story. We decided to try our luck again with another amp we had just lying around, but for some reason now the only thing that will play are the tweeter assemblies on the coax's. I guess my question is what happened to the door speakers when the amplifier blew up, I didn't think the speakers would receive damage as well??? Was there a surge of DC current through the cone of the coax or something? Any help you could provide would greatly help. [/QUOTE]
