[QUOTE="headless, post: 3494705, member: 566363"] Sounds like the left woofer is fried... it could have been killed when the amp fried, but If the amp fried while playing music it's likely that it was being clipped even if you didn't expect it to be. Also possible that it had a bad ground causing massive amperage spikes trying to push power... How did you set your gains? Where do you have the amplifier grounded? Have you done the big 3? What size wire to your amps and for the big 3? Any dimming? Did you test the tweeter and woofer on your buddy's receiver WITH crossover's? be careful; pushing a full range signal to a tweeter will destroy it in no time. I hope Premier takes care of you - I've returned several woofers from my Rainbows under warranty to Don (6spdcoupe) and never had so much as a blink from him re: RMA'ing them back. It may have helped that he knew all of the hardware I was using though - i bought my Arc 4150XXK amp and Eclipse CD7000 from him also. I hear a lot of good things about Premier, so perhaps you'll see similar service from him. [/QUOTE]
