Fender Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) I have the ID CTX65CS and I'm sending roughly 150W RMS to them. They were getting this fine for a while, and one day I got major interference through my speakers. They were pulsating bass like crazy but I took the key out quick so they would stop. I turned the gain down to about a 1/4 and can't go any higher. When I turn it up higher, they start crackling. I'm almost positive their blown? Just wanna be sure Edited August 6, 2009 by Fender Quote 2 RE SE @ 32Hz AQ 1200D Image Dynamics Ctx65cs Hifonics Zxi6008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 when you push the cone in by hand do they make a scratching sound? havent gotten a chance to get them out of the door. but when i do, i am going to check them with a dmm. actually i could probably do that with the speaker wire. hmm Quote 2 RE SE @ 32Hz AQ 1200D Image Dynamics Ctx65cs Hifonics Zxi6008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
