Alright guys i have a pair of Infinity Sm 155s being powered by a sony STR-DN1000. The volume control ranges from 0-75 and at 40-50 (depending on loudness of the song) the protection circuit turns on. While in everyday use i dont need to go higher than that, as a college student more than once i have really wished they would.
Some quick specs for you all. The Sony kicks out 110WPC (book claims that thats an RMS rating). and the speakers claim to be able to handle 300RMS each. So i really dont feel that's its being overpowered, im just not sure what the issue it... I will say the built in crossover control on the speaker (see my profile pic) is a little sketchy.. When you adjust them the speaker pops in and out a little. once they are set in place everything works fine though.
I thought maybe one speaker was causing the protection circuit to trip while the other was fine, so i ran one speaker at a time (i know. bad for amp. but only few sec.) and each blew at lvl42.
Im not sure what the issue is.. any help? also. the wires inside of the speaker (took out crossover and 15 to take a look around) are connected to each speaker with those crimped on push clip things (forgot name. sorry)... will that effect sound? would i be better to directly solder the wires to the speakers?
Thanks in advance guys! I love hometheaterfourm! A lot of smart people who know their stuff!
