K so Mikey my right speaker haz been poppin lately
nOt all da time certain songs and I guess maybe bass related

well I took it in to CToys and hoped they were gonna replace it since I DID go for the extended warranty after the last episode

so he sayz its nOt the speaker but that the Bass Output Diodes are going bad

and that I will need to let them SEND IT IN FOR REPAIR!! which could take up to like 8 weeks
and NO they won't be givin me a temp HU

guess the extended warranty isnt all its cracked up 2 be

I know beta than nufin butt the thought of having to haul that ghetto boombox around again for 8 weeks really saddens me

Try turning the volume down once in a while.

My amp died on the way to the Wake the Dragon event this year in April. I ended up going to WalMart and getting one of these:



I put my iPod in it, and it has those little speakers and it plays directly off the iPod.

THAT sucked.

BTW -- Stock HU's go for ~$50. Why not just grab a new one and drop it in?

So, my favorite speaker maker has got cancer, and so he's discontinuing his low-end lines in China.

Do I buy my dealer's used ones for $700?

Do I buy a pair of Dali Ikon 6s?

Do I buy a pair of comparable Ushers?

Do I just hold off until I can afford a pair of mbl Radialstrahlers? (~$45K)
