It absolutely blew me away too. I mean I kind of respected those engineers for being good software engineers but clearly their skill sets extended beyond that. Quoting from the investigation of how they blew up their tweeter:
> Assuming a constant resistance (which isn't true but it'll do for now), with the amp at 15.5 dBV, and input at -2dBFS, that's 13.5 dBV = 4.73 Vrms, current at 3.72Ω is 1.27 A. Almost exactly 6 W I was pumping into each tweeter.
> We have τ_Tvc = 3.9 and τ_Tmg = 70, and I think T_sett_vc=104.9 and T_sett_mg=129.5 are the thermal resistances in °C/W. That means that, if I'm mental mathing right, the tweeter voice coil would've reached >600°C after a few seconds, give or take (and longer as the magnet heats up).
> Yeah, no wonder I cooked it.
