rideredder Unregistered guest | i have all Blaupunkt speakers in my car. it is a Mustang so i have 6 speakers, 3 1/2's, 6 1/2's, and 6/8's. i also have a Pioneer DEHP6500 HU which puts out 50 watts per channel. the front channels are running the dash and door speakers and the rear channels are running the 6/8's. the 6/8's are three way and 240 watts total for the pair, so how could have i blown the 6/8's within a couple of months with only 50 watts total to each speaker. also, i have always had the fade more to the front than back. front speakers still sound pretty good, but not real sure on the wattage of those. |

rideredder Unregistered guest | it had to be enough power to move the woofers enough to rip the wires off from the terminals to the woofers. solderd them back on and it did it again. |
