Fresno's question, immediately below (I don't want to hijack his thread), about a blown driver has me wondering. I've been using my Pi 2 Towers this summer as outdoor speakers -- placing them at the sliding doors and blasting them out into the yard, w/ a 100W AKSA amp. Since we abut a state forest here in lovely northwest NJ, I play them pretty d***ed loud -- last Saturday night I was playing the Simon & Garfunkel Central Park Concert for a friend at near concert levels, and one of the nice things about the Pi 2s that they just go up and up with no sign of strain at all.

This coming weekend, I'm hosting my brother-in-law's 50th birthday party (of course, I'm much younger than he is). Things are likely to get seriously out of hand. Although I doubt we'll play Metallica, Jimi, Cream, Janis, Frank Z., the Stones, et al. will probably attend.

The question is: am I tempting fate? Will the drivers show signs of distress before anything untoward happens?

Thanks in advance.
