i was playing at a gig at the time i had a fender rumble 100 1/15. i turn it up all the way and about two songs i played my amp was out. and i started to smell somthing burning inside it. next day later i turn it on to see what was the problem. all i know is the speaker sound like it was damage. so the point is. do i need to replace the speaker or its somting alse? please i need

sounds like you blew up your amp. If you smelled something bad, that was likely NOT your speaker... Take it to a tech.

what did it sound like? crackling, farty noises? (you never wanna turn up an amp to 11! bad things happen!)

Want to try and give a nice, coherent, detailed explanation with real sentences? From what I can puzzle out of the OP, it sounds like it's broken and you need to take it to a tech.

Probably it was those monster cables sending too much power to the amp.

I think he gave it a pretty good shot considering English is not his first language.

However punctuation marks are universal in most languages.

You missed a comma after "However," Mr. Universe.

Nice catch. However, it is now my turn to play the "English is not my first language card"

But hey! When you look closely what you are saying I actually I didn't miss a comma after "However," because that would imply that the proper way to use punctuation would be "However,,". So right back at ya. I also prefer to use Mr. Perfect when surfing the interwebs.

Now you missed the period after "card."

As for the OP... if you need to crank your amp all the way to obtain satisfactory volume levels, you need a more powerful amp.

Amps are like cars. Sure, you can run them flat out all the time, but something bad is bound to happen.

Agreed, sounds more like the amp not the speaker. Take it to a tech.

Stick to suomi, Mr. Perfect!

Actually, you write in English better than many Americans who speak it as their native tongue, so please know I'm just kidding with you. The only Finnish word I know is Nokia.

Yes BUT if the person bothered to fill out his profile properly we would all know that without having to hunt the information down!
