    Good question, I don't know. Obviously, it should be, but the word "Thrashed" may be brought into play, in an attempt to avoid paying for the repair.

    Under the circumstances, I'd be looking for having new crossovers fitted, and new HF units. Why did one or both fail? If you don't replace the x-overs, will a new unit fail also? How old are they?

    Yep its the driver http://www.jacksmusicfactory.com/def...2414H-1_Driver they are only 4 months old so they will repair or replace, what causes a driver to fail though?? I never thrash them and treat them with kid gloves

    Faulty crossover is a possibility. Thrashing is a definite possibility. ( For some folk)

    Aha again. They're active, aren't they? More possibilities appear.

    Let us know how you get on.
