Can anyone tell me how to disable or bypass the overload protection on my speakers. One of them cuts out at a moderate volume levell. It is real annoying .

It sounds like there is some other type of problem.
Amp maybe?-Joe -
B&W does not put any overload protection in their speakers. As joetama said, it has to be something else. Have you tried switching the speaker wires at the amp and did the broblem stay with the speaker or switch to the other one? If a driver in a speaker (like a woofer or midrange) has a voice coil that is about to go bad what your experiencing can happen. As that driver moves farther in and out it can create a short that would shut your amp off.

B&W 802fs
Yes it does. There is a light on the bottom of the speaker that flashes and interups the sound.Comment

I've never seen or heard of anything flashing on a B&W speaker. I'm not sure what that could be. Which model is it exactly? Is it a Matrix 802, Nautilus 802 or an 802D?

I haven't either. If no one else here doesn't have knowledge of it, call tech support. The number is 800.370.3740 and they will help you. If you do have to leave a message, they will call you back.

Sounds like something has finally failed. Maybe un-wise to just disconnect without some investigation. A call to B&W Support should be considered.BruceComment

G'day,
There's someone in town selling a pair of B&W DM14s. These are from the early 1980's (I think), and I'm wondering if they are worth inspecting. An old user manual is available at http://www.bwspeakers.com/downloadFi...DONE_-DM14.pdf, but I cannot find any specifications.... -
Okay, I am looking at some amps for my subwoofer. I am using four 15" Avalanche drivers in a large box system. That is another forum. It has been recommended that I use Behringers's EP2500 amplifier, which I am happy to do, but wanted to compare some others and learn something at the same time.... -
Hi Friends,
I purchased my RSX-1056 Surround sound receiver in May 2005 and have been extremely satisfied with its performance. Recently though, while listening to movies or music, my receiver would just shut-off. This happened twice. My understanding was that this was due to overload... -
