HOW TO AVOID SPEAKER DAMAGE

Use an appropriate amplifier. At high volumes, a very powerful amplifier can overdrive your speakers
and damage them. On the other hand, if your amplifier isn't powerful enough, it can produce clipping
distortion that can easily damage high-frequency drivers. (See your Dealer.)
Don't be fooled by your amplifier's volume control. It adjusts listening level—it does not indicate
power output. If your speakers begin to sound harsh or grating, or if you hear the bass breaking up, turn
the volume down immediately or you will damage your speakers! This type of damage constitutes
abuse and is not covered by warranty!
Tone controls and equalizers can demand even more power from an amplifier, lowering the point at
which it produces clipping distortion. Use them sparingly, if at all, and do not use them when listening
at loud levels.
