well, i decided to play the tone on my system at 0db. i successfully blew my stock front mids. had the burning smell and everything. probably not the tone's fault. just that i didnt start off w/ min gain on my amp. well, live and learn. at least i'm getting new ones today. heh. so not a real loss. didint think that my stocks could handle the 50w that the amp was driving with anyways.
