But when you host a party, rather than partying, you have to keep an eye on all those things and more. Last edited: Oct 29, Thanks for the info. I completely agree about the stress of hosting a party, unfortunately my flatmates don't I am sorry, you cant gauge how loud it will be by the position of the volume dial.
There are far too many factors involved. Just dont play it too loud, or turn the bass up and you will be fine. Or blow you speakers, put it down to experience and buy some cheap pa speakers for the next party.

Therefore considering the will not be as good power wise as a , and I believe the s should be considerably more hungry I think their impedance can drop to under 4 ohms at certain frequencies than Another thing to consider is bass uses more power, despite it being the treble that deteriorates first.
So if you are listening to music with lots of bass, care needs to be taken. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads. Are my ears deceiving me? Replies 18 Views 1K.

Dust can majorly affect the performance of your speakers. You can use your vacuum to clear out the dust carefully, or a blower to blow the dust from the inside. Regular cleaning is essential for performance too, though you should never use liquid cleaners on them as they can damage the amplifier. You should never put them on metals but rather, wooden materials.
This prevents magnetic interruptions. Static electricity can also cause problems in a carpeted room. Try using anti-static floor mats or spray-on anti-static chemicals to keep from burning out your speakers.
You should always keep speakers away from direct sunlight. Any vent holes on your speakers should never be blocked either. Always check your plugging and connection jacks when putting your sound system together. When you put the wrong jacks in with the wrong channels, you can blow it.
If you want your speakers to last for a long time, you should make sure the area is properly ventilated. Keeping fans nearby for when you use them heavily will help keep them cool. One way to kiss your speakers goodbye is to connect them to outlets without using voltage protection. For a new speaker, you should do the burn out test.
This helps you ensure there are no manufacturer defects. For speakers that are dead, you either need to replace it or try reconing. Reconing is when you remove all the moving parts and replace them. If you have it fixed professionally, it will be as good as new. The guitar head was likely designed with an original speaker so it might not sound as good as one that goes with other amps.
Bass guitar and PA cabinets should have the speaker replaced with the original ones as specified or at least one that is recommended that is extremely close in specs. You might not be happy though if you loved the way it originally sounded. Heading to your local repair shop might make you happy, or you can tempt fate by doing it yourself.
When you have speakers of any kind, you can damage them by playing them too loud. Many factors come into play with syncing up your equipment plus the type of speakers, the connections, and plenty more. To avoid troubles, you should always check your setup before turning it up.
This type of question has been asked before but I have never seen a knowledgeable answer. Nobody ever answers that in detail. You just get terse answers about hearing damage and such.

But I was looking for a detailed answer. In part, if a recording is super soft, can the volume be turned up all the way, or will the system still overheat. In other words is there a difference between the actual decible level being much lower at max volume setting than a lower volume setting with a higher decible level.
Can you blow a tweeter if no clipping is present?. The short answer is yes, you can listen to your system, even at FULL volume without worrying about damage if you're playing a signal that is at a low level. I thought I had it set to a good level, but as soon as the alarms went off, so did both the fuses. Yes, you can blow a tweeter if no clipping is present, but it's harder. A tweeter, or any driver for that matter can only dissipate a certain amout of heat.
If it is driven past the ability to dissipate the heat, it will heat up until it self distructs. On your speakers I'm sure that level is at a very high SPL, and I doubt you will ever have that problem. Usually it's all or nothing.
Is damage an all or nothing affair or is it progressive? What I mean by that is, lets say you are listening to music and then you encounter the listening "fatigue" that was described earlier, and you lower the volume.
The music sounds OK at the lower volume but have you degraded the quality of the sound by taking the speakers to clipping? OR is the sound quality still the same but you have just put some extra wear and tear on the parts?
An analogy might be if you rev your car engine really hard, the car still can go just as fast and has the same acceleration but you may have just decreased it's life expectancy before failure? Do you think speakers can be thought of this way? Did I make any sense? Replies: 3 Last Post: , AM. Replies: 16 Last Post: , AM. Does this mean that my sub-woofer is too loud?
