So about 9 months ago I bought an Acoustic B410 from Guitar Center online and picked it up in store. Just recently one of the speakers blew. Now, it's my understanding that I should be able to get it replaced, even if I didn't get Guitar Center's long term warranty. Is this true, or am I stuck with it? I'm asking because the closest GC to me requires a bit of drive to get to, and I don't want to get there and find out that I'm wrong.

According to Acoustic's website it's 3 years.
I did, but the guy I got didn't seem too knowledgeable.

I wouldn't go in with guns blazing ask for a manger see what he or she can do for you to make it right explain you have to travel some distance so you would appreciate any help and a smart manager will recognize an opportunity to develop a loyal customer then too maybe not 
A blown speaker after 9 months is likely to be called user abuse, not factory defect.
Did you push it too hard?

Also, what does the warranty cover? I'm thinking a blown speaker could easily be considered "abused" and thus not replaced under most warranties.
Warranty says 3 yr limited (legal talk for it covers everything except whats broken on yours)... However I wouldn't expect anyone to cover 9 mo old speakers. You might get lucky and GC may cover the speaker..
