I bought some JBL Control 5 not too long ago, $25 pair, they retail at GC for $350 pair.
One turned out to be blown, the foam is fried and theres no audio. the tweeter too.
The other is ok.
Along time ago I tried using 4ohm car speakers and they both had their foam destroyed and the cone became brittle and fell apart.
I assume both cases these 4ohm speakers were destroyed/blown because they were hooked up to a high powered 8ohm output.
Is this a good guess?
I also wonder what a repair might cost on the JBL C5? Anyone have a guess?
Buying replacements is far too expensive and these speakers were a CL purchase, I dont need them.
