well considering i already blew 2 pairs of 6x9"s, sad for me, i finally got my stereo tweaked out professionaly. which is good, cause he told me not to go passed this point, in which i didnt. NOW one of me 3.5"s is blown and now i can say that it isnt entirely my fault cause i wasnt the one to tweak the stereo. my Q is that i cant really remember when i bought the MB quart 3.5"s, but IF they are over a yr. old (and i cant remember how long an MB quart speakers warranty lasts) and the installer tweaked the stereo. could i still get the speakers replaced for free instead of paying 300$ for a new pair

That was yesterday! Dude, it doesn't take you long, eh? lol

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

wow guy, get a new passion!! haha, you just have bad luck with this stuff.

I can't remember before if you said you had an amp or not? If not, maybe its time to try one, and use the crossovers built into it.

TY AUDIOKID1 your my new friend! lol

and HEY c'mon now this time it wasnt my fault. it was the installer he tweaked it out for me! cause when i tweaked it out, i had the fronts sounding very nice, and havent had a prob yet. till i got it professionaly tweaked. grrrrr.

and yes i have an amp for the mains. its an RF 301x. so thats plenty of power for them. there is no crossover on the amp. just a filter which are both set on high pass. and the front and rear gains.

thanx for all the help guys! much appreciated! :)

Sounds like you like to turn the stereo up louder than necessary and end up blowing your gear. Not a smart move unless you enjoy paying money for new equipment every so often...

you know this is kinda getting frustrating...i keep blowing speakers left right and center..literally lol i have had my mb quart 3.5s for 2 yrs. they're not under warranty anymore. so i'm tricking them into thinking they installed them. i havent had any probs with them till i had them professional tweaked out..

now they're saying they cant replace them cause of warranty issues. which is kinda bullsh*t..if the installer tweaked them out and told me to dont go passed a certain point on the HU (which i didnt) and the speakers blew. they should replace them anyways. cause hes the professional and he shouldnt be blowing speakers.

I will go out on a limb here and suggest the reason you are blowing speakers is you are turning the system up too loud and running it in clipping. If I was you I'd spend my money on a larger amp and the proper speakers to handle the power so it will be loud enough for you and still in the amp's safe operating range.

ya but still..if the installer told me not to go passed this certain point on the HU, which i didnt, it would be safe, cause hes a certified installer and supposively "knows" what hes doing...
