Re: DQ10 Woofer Distortion
My original 'Advent' woofers were stolen, or too far gone . . . I replaced them with Simply Speaker 12"ers and they are just fine. I know originality is a good thing, but just sayin' . . . it is hard

Re: DQ10 Woofer Distortion
Ed when in circuit that is about right and indicates the resistors are probably OK. The voice coil should also not be melted.
Still could be mis centering or voice coil deformation. Did the speaker

Re: DQ10 Woofer Distortion
The sub harmonic synth may have damaged the woofer by causing it to try to reproduce frequencies below what it is capable of.

Thanks for this information. My first exposure to the 10's was in high school and I saved every nickel to buy a pair. Many years pass....but when I heard about the back story of Jon it stuck with me.
