    WTF? AvP just melted my SVS!

    I want to clarify that I'm not pissed with SVS over this. The sub's been good, sounds excellent, and has a great price. I did design my room for two, so if I need them, so be it. It would be nice to see some details on their website about any needed protective measures.

    WTF? AvP just melted my SVS!

    So I was watching Alien vs. Predator. My SVS CS+ 20-39, powered by a crown CH2 was pounding away... It was loud, but not reference level. And then, that big explosion when the bomb goes off. Sub goes "pop-pop-pop". I reach for the volume control to turn it down, but it's too late. The driver is...
