Thanks for the advice. But still living at home as a young adult back then, I seldom played it very loud. The speakers went out because they were super generic and quite old. Pops bought his first receiver and speakers off the back of a truck and they were cheap enough that the woofers blew with just a little juice. It was a good enough excuse for me to buy some JBLs that were better for the stereo's sound at the volume that I played.
