Audio Problems

Post by ShotInTheDark »

Well I replaced the speakers in the rear of the vibe because my wife blew them within a month. Now I added a Pioneer mp3/cd changer controller for her trip to georgia. She liked the idea that I could burn 170 songs on one disk for her to drive with. 3 Hours into the trip she blows the front right speaker. I like the look (and sound) of the Polk component set, but am looking for other options. Anyone have any advice? I have Polk ex-2's in the rear now and they sound great.

I got a suggestion.Tell her to stop blowing speakers. Seriously though, how does that keep happening?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

If she is blowing the factory speakers, she either has the base too high, or she will be deaf within just a few years. My radio is so loud at half volume, that it hurts.

I don't know if you guys notice the difference, but the same volume will much louder with a CD then it is on the Radio. If you like your music loud, you crank up the radio... you get used to listening to the radio on a certain volume, then you turn on a CD at that volume, and it's much louder.
