I'm hearing a little distortion coming from the left woofer in my CSi3...kinda buzzy/hissy. I'm thinking that its blown, but if anyone has any suggestions on how I can rectify this I'd greatly appreciate it!

    I'm not sure that what you describe is an indication of distortion. Have you checked all your connections? If you swap the CSi3 with one of your front speakers, does the problem still occur (you could even do this test in stereo mode, using the CSi3 as either the FL or FR speaker)? If the problem persists, you could try swapping the main drivers of the CSi3 and see if the problem follows the swap.

    If the problem does seem to follow the speaker, and even the driver, after swapping, then you probalby need to contact c/s. They may ask you to ship the driver separately (to limit your shipping costs) to check it out. I'm assuming it is no longer under warranty?
    Alea jacta est!
