I THINK I BLEW OUT MY z560s!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! I was trying to show my friend how great these speakers (Logitech z560s) sound and I turned up the volume pretty loud. And then they just abruptly stopped. Now they won't turn on any more...... I think I'm gonna cry I just got these things yesterday! WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

Has anyone encountered this? I think I had the knob turned to high and then when I turned out the volume in Winamp did they go out.
 
Yeah I did notice a smell, but i wasn't sure if it was a burning smell or if the speakers just smell like that cuz they're new..... what scares me is that I have to pay shipping for 45 lb MASS.
 
Yeah it does smell like burnt something I just can't figure out what, it's a familiar smell though I've smelled it somewhere before, just don't remember what was burning hehe.
 
I'm thinking you either burned out something in the power supply stage, or maybe the sub driver's coil burned and is shorting out, causing the unit to never get out of protection mode.....if it has one (if it doesn't, then the amp and/or power supply section are gone).

Send it in for warranty repairs 🙂
 
i also tried to test the limits of my Z560 but by turning bass all the way up and volume up pretty high as well.
at portions of the song with lots of bass, they would making a clipping noise, souding kind of like a spark.
needless to say, i turned then down immediately.

weird thing is that i've done it plenty of other times before, and this never happened.

any idea what this could be?
 
There is a fuse, it refers to it above the power switch on the sub. Also make sure the power is plugged in good on the back of the sub, I know that sounds stupid, but I've kicked mine out accidently twice within the last month. It does't seem to plug in very firm.
 
psteng, it's probably the driver bottoming (from being in a box that's tuned so high in frequency)
Not exactly a thing to keep on doing doing as it can cause damage.
