My Onkyo ht-rc360 recently started showing "check sp wire". On both of my Monitor 60's the tweeters were blown. Can this cause this issue that im having. I removed the tweeters and the problem hasn't returned but im still not sure.


Thank you

    You need to restate your problems, but over-driving the Ht-rc360 amp most likely blew your tweeters. When you tweeters blew it caused an open circuit, the wires burned into.

    Sorry about that. The receiver would turn off and show " check sp wire " . Could the burned out tweeters have caused the receiver to turn off when I turned up the volume because of the short?
