A lot of work and diagnosis to get to this point. That was the hard part. Why send it out now? Wouldn't that have been the thing to do in the beginning?
Cool blu_fuz glad it's working well now.blu_fuz said:I got it back today.......
AND IT WORKS!
When you get to about 40% volume the speakers will pop once and punch out towards you pretty violently.
The speaker pop issue is not a bug, it's a "feature".blu_fuz said:Thanks guys. I was reading up on the speaker pop issue on S2g and everone says "speaker is blown". I know for a fact mine are not blown because I was using the speakers directly with another stereo.
It seems to be popping most when I move around the 100HZ EQ slider :annoyed: .
Hmmm, that description is a lot more telling of the condition.MasterBlaster84 said:When I witnessed the issue on thafuzz's box it almost seemed as if the amp ran out of juice which caused it to pop and nearly shutdown until the volume was lowered.
An amp is any circuit specifically designed to "amplify" a signal. Amplifier circuits usually consist of a combination of transistors. Boomboxes, especially those built beginning in the late 70's employ the use of amplifiers in the form of IC's. An IC (integrated circuit) is basically a group of semiconductors and their related circuitry, all in one neat package. They simplify the design process. Many have built in thermal shutoff protection and overcurrent protection. If specific parameters are exceeded on an IC employing these protections, the device could automatically shut down or meter the output to protect the IC. There is no way to know if this is what is happening.blu_fuz said:I just got the bbx home and was playing around with it. It actually volumes down when it makes that pop noise and then raises back up. The higher the "bass" eq sliders are, the worse it is.
