I have run an amp rated at 450WPC @ 4 ohms into my LSi15s and was surprised that it clipped at a level that didn't seem too much above the 100/150 wpc amps that I normally run.
500 WPC is only 6db above the 125 wpc of your previous amp. Not truly noticeable to your ears, once your ears start to compensate for the extreme volume.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

Different speakers that failed [L/R] or the same one? Or both?~ 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. ~

The pics are a little fuzzy. I think you can tell what it is tho I hope

Both L/R failed at the same time. I hate to say failed when I am speaking of my polks.

Can you read a number off that resistor?"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

Damn dude you smoked that resistor. I would recommend getting some Mill's 12 watters, but I am scared you are going to fry your tweeters. I may have missed it. Did your tweeters stop working, or your woofers, or both.

Hate to quote myself, but I have a date with the pillow. Have you tried a factory reset? / default on the pre?Where is your bass manager set at on the pre?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music.

Ben, agreed on the Mills. I just said that to Mike.Political Correctness'.........defined

Sorry Ben. Just the tweeters. I was reading back and noticed I dident answer.

That's 5 watts, 2 ohms. If you move up to a Mills 12 watt, 2 ohm the resistors will handle more heat, but if you keep cranking it to -23, you're going to start frying the tweeters. You need to keep the volume level lower regardless.Political Correctness'.........defined

Darn I knew you were going to say that. I will take your advise and try the Mills 12watt,2 ohm and keep it down a bit.

Since you feel your LSi's need more treble, you may want to check out the RTiA series."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 can solder but I think I will put my polks in the hands of a pro.
-
Just remember, when you get the urge to crank it, resistors cost a helluva lot less than new tweeters.Political Correctness'.........defined

Bingo you are all set if you can exercise a little control. The higher up the food chain you go the more important it is to watch out for distortion. If you hear any it is time to back off a notch. I know this all to well;) If you can solder while you are in there I would recommend replacing all the resistors. Just do one at a time. I have not looked at the diagram for that speaker, but it is posted here at Polk. I'll get it.

True F1nut. I'm glad you guys helped me out tonight. I almost considered replacing these guys. I can honestly say there is none that sound any better. None I have heard anyway.

Sweet Ben I would LOVE to. I am in conyers from time to time as I do Heating and Air.
