Blew a channel: Did it damage my speakers?!?!?

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

PG Xenon X200.4

Went over a bump, started making very loud hissing noise (almost like an RCA was grounded out). So I immediately turned off the radio, and the noise went away. I got home, un-connected all RCA's, still made the noise through the speakers/sub. The longer the h/u was left on, the louder the noise got. It got loud enough to the point where the h/u had to be shut off.

I know it's a blown channel because I talked to Dalucifer and he came across the same problem with his Xenon. He said PG is going to charge me around $185 to fix it, plus shipping and all that crap.

Go figure. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I'm going to shit a brick if it damaged my speakers, think it did?

I wish i could help you out with this. I actually just had to send one of my dls amps to be repaired too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif not sure what that'll cost yet though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

This sucks, but if my speakers are damaged it will really **** me over.

try hooking up through head unit and see if that noise is still there. i know that the power is nowhere near what that amp was putting out but your head unit is pretty beefy for a considering

hmm

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have seen an amplifier blow and take the speaker with it and a speaker blow and take the amplifier with it. If you were running your amplifier passive, you might be lucky and the crossover could have taken the brunt of any direct DC your amplifier would have passed. If you are running active, be warned that 1 second of enough DC is more than enough to ruin your speakers.
