Is it possible to BLOW the 15" Macbook Pro 2011 Speakers?

[randomrazr]

You're welcome to call me a liar, but I had to get a replacement base model 2011 15" because a week after I got it a random web music player blasted a ridiculously loud mp3 over the internal speakers and the sound was noticeably distorted and lower volume after that. So I'd say you can, but I've also never had that happen on previous macbooks.

did u ahve to say much to get it replaced?

my hinge has been making clicking noises everytime u open it passed 90 degrees :s

i got mine in march though

thanks again for your input on the speakers!

Blowing them would be impossible. You’ll have to settle for licking them.

I called up and told them what the speakers were sounding like. Within a few minutes I was talking to someone about setting up a DOA return, they apparently prefer to outright replace because of how new this line of MBPs is. If you've got a nagging issue, address it sooner rather than later because they're pushing replacements it seems.

if you are clipping (esp excessively), then yes you can damage the speakers if your mac volume is set to max. clipping is MUCH more likely to occur when using garageband or equivalent than purchased music.

yes i did call apple and created a case and recorded the issues and when they occured.

unfortunately the closest apple store is 3 and a half hours away in toronto canada. aprently in canada we dont have the option of shipping macbooks back to apple, they do for iphones and ipods, but not computers, which sucks alot lol.

anyways, since th eissues were recorded, do u think apple would do anything when i go to toronto this summer? its a few months away and the issues were recorded .
my family usualy heads up there once to see relatives and i could take the time to go tot he apple store there

all in all though guys, is it possible to ruin the speakers or macbook playing them max out?

I don't know anything about the drivers (think speaker) or overall construction of what Apple is using for a loud speaker.

They may have it limited to not exceed a certain power and frequency threshold based on the speaker.


I'd be worried running any speaker at a constant max volume for worry of coming across "static" or signal distortion or other audio abnormalities...let alone a tiny laptop speaker.

I may be over analyzing...crank it up and get busy.

haha alright thanks for the info

my main concern was the speakers vibrating the rest of the computer, thought it owuld potencially wreck the HD or something eles

Listening to Miley Cyrus will blow any speakers. Try some good music.

Because you know what good music is

Is it possible? Just install the Boom app and use it for a year. That'll do the trick
