Crossover melt down

Anyone have their crossovers melt on Lsi15. Mine decided to go on strike on me today.:( This is the second time it has happened. Is there a hot rod version I could purchase? I do like to listen to my music a tad bit loud. The Lsi15's seem to handle it with no distortion but the crossovers don't like it. I just hate the thought of replacing them.

Hello Jerry and welcome to Club Polk. What kind of amplification are you powering them with?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Sorry I was asleep at the wheel here.
I am using a Emotiva XPA-2 to drive them.

It's a slow night here, ya know.
Ok, what's the power rating and how loud is loud? In other words, where on the volume dial is loud?Political Correctness'.........defined

The power output is 500 watts per channel. The preamp was reading -23 i think. The bryston I was using was only 125 watts per channel. It happened on that one as well

One more thing. Are you running a flat signal?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Yeah, I looked it up, 500wpc @ 4 ohms. -23, eh? I'm not good with those damn digital volume levels. Would you say that -23 is more or less than halfway?Political Correctness'.........defined

I would say more than half way. ( The Sound was incredible I might say )
As far as what fried I just know its white and square and broke. Sorry I dont know exactly what it is. -
Flat signal...Do you mean Stereo. If so yes.
-
Wow I cant believe this response. You guys rule.
-
You're more than likely clipping the amp at that level. Try to keep it below halfway.

I will try. They just sound so good, even at that level. What is my next step Should I send them back again?

Flat means no gain with the treble or bass controls, if you have those.Political Correctness'.........defined

Flat Signal=0 for tone and 0 for bass."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

Jerry, it's kinda like a car. Just because the pedal goes to the floor doesn't mean you can peg it there all the time. Everything has limits, ya know!?!
I take it you had Polk repair them before. If so, I'm sure they'll do it again.Political Correctness'.........defined

There's a 2 ohm in the tweeter circuit, 1 2 ohm for each mid woofer(2), and 1 3.5 ohm for the woofer."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

I see your point. So did I just waste allot of money on amplifiers? And yes they did fix them for me before. It makes me sad to see the poor things in this shape.
