JL Audio F113 --- Loud Buzz --- ??? --- Bizzarre

I have two F113's in my 2 channel system. I keep them in the Auto Mode so they turn on when they sense a signal. All of a sudden one starts blurting out this high pitched rumble that ends up stuttering loudly. Turn the power switch to off and obviously it stops. Turn it back on and it emmits the same sound and it doesn't stop. I have tried other power recepticles, unhooking IC's that run to the pre amp. No success ......... what the **** happened ???? Bizzarre ????

I guess I'll start running them through a surge protector. We didn't have a storm, just loss of power. The rest of my equipment runs through my Hydra 6. I don't have any problems with any other gear. Should I have a surge unit on the Hydra before going to the power in the wall? I always unplug when a thunderstorm is coming through. I live in Salt Lake and it's still Winter and snowing !!! My luck ........ go figure.

Surge protectors are hit and miss. They often miss during storms, and during power outages they may miss as well. That's a big miss for your gear. I don't think you should unplug after each listening session. I don't do that, it's a hassle. But if we're talking ultimate protection, that's the way to go.
