I don't really know where to start. Back before I knew anything about stereos, I had an old Mitsubishi system with BALLS of power. Well, I know it got freaking loud, and in HS, that's all that mattered right? Well, I got a second set of speakers and this system was like 20 years old, no A/B so I just tied the speaker wire together and BOOM I have 4 speakers instead of 2. Now the parties were even louder and it ran fine. I used this set-up for about 2-3 years perfectly fine (I know now, I was down to a 4 ohm load on an 8 ohm reciever). Then I was in the market to get a new stereo when I got to college, so, what did I do? See what it took to blow up the old amp before I got a new one. ANOTHER pair of speakers later (now we're down to 2 ohms for those of you keeping track at home). This ran ok for about a semester, then durring a rather extended party, it finally died. The power supply was too hot to touch.
Long story short, blowing up the amp for no reason was the dumbest thing I'd ever done, but I was impressed at how long it lasted before I finally killed it.
Now that I'm all grown up, I couldn't imaging doing something like that again, oh well, I was young and stupid and no real bills to pay. But I did come out with a lot of good memories
