Fires in speakers?

Has anyone encountered a fire in a speaker coming from an ordinary radio/tape/cd stereo?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes I have seen this. Without going into a lot of details, the speakers were hooked to a radio that was in a wet environment, and the electronics were damaged, sending an AC current to the speakers and they caught on fire.

I could let you know in a few days....if I put the fuse back in the radio/speakers of my pickup truck!.....I get a crakling noise and smoke smell even with the ignition off!

Typical home/car steros do not have enough current flowing through a speaker for anything to catch on fire. If the speaker is on fire, chances are there is a fault IN THE STEREO OR AMPLIFER that is passing high voltage or high current main power into the speaker wires.

I've seen at least 10 subwoofer fires, but this is during my stint in SPL competitions.

Its usually from a damaged subwoofer and a lot of power being pushed into it.
