I just installed 8 brand new cadence comp. speakers, took out the factory speakers. I wanna blow them up, can someone tell me how. I heard that hooking them in 120 volts (regular outlet) will do the trick. Is there an easier way, or another better way? Kinda a goofy random question, and if not allowed on this forum, an admin can just take it off. =] thanks

Wall socket or if you have any amps :ehh:

wire it in series or parrallel? which will work better

wire all 8 in parallel at .5 ohm into a 120.

parallel will blow quicker in a wall outlet. by maybe half a second for factory speakers.

but factory speakers arent dual coils. so just do one at a time

DC kills if the power put out by a battery is greater than the thermal rating of a speaker. You could put a 12V battery on a lot of speakers and never blow it.

At a 4 ohm load, a 12VDC battery will only produce only 36 watts.

If you've got 4 4ohm speakers hook them up in series to a 120v socket.

That way you'll only be feeding each speaker 225w instead of the 3600w they'd have to try and handle if you hooked them up individually. They might last a little longer but since you are giving them 10 times more power than they were meant to handle... well let's say there will be more smoke than sound. :fing34:

gasoline....12ga buckshot...C4...an assortment of household cleaners...alot of ways to blow up a speaker..but my vote goes to the 60hz shuffle

video whores waiting!!!

220 volt outlet, or a 330.
