I blew my speakers !!!

yeah so I'm a little mad.

I have the harmon/kardon logic 7 system.

I would think that the speakers are good enough to not blow when the volume is turned up loud.

I'll admit it on max volume or almost max volume all the time besides for when im on the phone or someones in the car with me.

but i never go from really low volume to really loud at once. i gradually go up.
and i never start the car with the volume really loud either.


so, i'm a little upset that i have to take back my car for them to change the speakers.

i wish the speakers could handle the power of the harmon kardon system!!


anyone else have this problem?

+1. I'm a bassaholic and would love some more umf. The Harmon Kardon system in my GL seems to have more bass even though the system in the C is supposed to be better.

Forget your speakers

I hope you have a warranty on your ear drums cause they're gonna blow next.

I played drums in a rock band professionally for years and although loud music never bothered me at the time... I know I lost part of my hearing as a result.

I hate to sound like an old fart but...

You'll probably regret it some day
