I've been in the audio/video business for 20 years and everytime someone said to me "I blew my speakers" I say "yes YOU did". "Blowing" speakers is a matter of forcing them beyond their capabilities, and beyond the capabilities of the amplifier driving them. It's the same principle as repeatedly going past the redline on the tach in search of performance that simply isn't there. It's not the fault of the speakers.Seattle GTO said:Has anyone had any radio problems ?, I think I blown the speakers !.

Would love to know what the long term blueprints are for your stereo...vmax said:I've upgraded some of my system and have others upgrades in the works. Let me know if you're interested in what I've done/will do.

My right rear speaker came pre-blown. Fixed under warranty.vmax said:I've been in the audio/video business for 20 years and everytime someone said to me "I blew my speakers" I say "yes YOU did".

That being said I agree that the GTO system leaves a lot to be desired. I've upgraded some of my system and have others upgrades in the works. Let me know if you're interested in what I've done/will do.
Wow, mine has never done that. I cant wait until I can meet up with some other GTO owners. This radio thing has got me perplexed. I obviously need to be shown the short commings of this system, and the difference between it and a "good" setup.Groucho said:My right rear speaker came pre-blown. Fixed under warranty.
The audio system is OK, nothing great. However, the high-volume amp shut-off is quite possibly the most maddening thing in the car. Nothing worse than cranking a good song when *click* everything goes quiet...
Mine did that a few days ago while cranking the new "Dark New Day" cd and the only way I could get it to come back on was to pull over and shut off the car for a minute and wait for it to cool. :willy:Groucho said:My right rear speaker came pre-blown. Fixed under warranty.

Sounds awesome.vmax said:Let me know what you think! I'm always interested in the opinions of others.
You took my stuff??????????? Send me a buck.b_a_betterperson said:Sounds awesome.
I've cut and paste your post into a folder for my car. I'm just not into consumer electronics at all. Buying the stuff seems to be more aggravating than buying a car!
Overall I just want good performance -- but want to keep the factory look -- the exact same strategy as you have. Thanks for the info.
84racebird - Mine is doing this exact same thing. Sounds like a short as under acceleration sometimes it will work for a couple of seconds. Did the dealer ever tell you what went wrong? I hate to have to visit a dealer just to secure a connector somewhere if I can do it myself.84racebird said:My radio just stopped working about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had nothing coming out of the speakers other than a small crackle when the amplifier turned on, I assume. But the volume control didn't do anything for sound. But all the functions on the radio display seemed to work. I'm getting the radio put back in today. I was told that my original radio was repaired. I don't know what the problem was.
