Burning smell from my Logitech z-5500 when volume maxed out !?

hi , i bought Logitech z-5500 about 25 days ago , its rocks ! but whenever I turn volume to max , after 2,3 minutes smell like burning rubber comes from sub or center satellite , I m not sure ,, There is no decrease in performance , just whenever i max out its volume , smell starts to come ... i've read on blogs n many of having this problem ,, so any solution ? I mean I need to give them to service centre or its normal ?

I think its either normal or manufacturing defect since you said many have it.

Contact manufacturers and ask. They should have a helpline.

hmmm ,, i guess so ..

Contact them and post what they said

I contacted service center , n they said U have to bring ure speakers here ,, man whole speaker set is around 17 kg ,,,hw m i gonna get my speakers there ,,,
tht sucks ,,,,

I think its better to take smell than take a 17 kg speaker far away + I think they will ask you to bring it there multiple times

btw why is that burning smell is coming?

^ even manufacturers arent sure of that.

i read sumwhere tht wen volume max out the voice coil heats n smell comes , but m nt sure whether its true ..

Just make sure wires arent burning..

If smell gets too unbarable spray some room freshner

lol ,,,its not about smell ,, i mean m scared if my speakers r damaged !!

I think you should get it checked if service centre isnt too far.

yeh , i will in one or two days ..

another thing , I m not getting satisfaction on my onboard sound card ,, any suggestion about wich soundcard should i buy for Z-5500 ?

Please specify budget.

@nvrmndryo,
Go through these and revert back:
1. How often does it happen with the smell? I mean, does it only happens when the volume is maxxed? And even if it does...then for how long?
2. What are the volume levels of Center, Surround and Sub-woofer?
3. Try playing 0-100 Hz THX test with bass level maxxed and all the rest zeroed. Notice, if you can hear any popping sound from woofer? (excursion)
4. Do check the connections and fuse at the back of the woofer.
5. Make sure, the woofer side port isn't blocked and has sufficient space.
6. Do provide enough room for the amplifier's fins at the back of the woofer. make sure, the connecting wires aren't touching the fins at the back.

As for soundcard, Asus Xonar-DX is the best pick for Z-5500!

@ techfreak : well my budjet is low i.e.1500/- rs ,, lol
but i can extend my budget ,,, first suggest me cards then i'll think about budget ,,,
i just need full performance by my system ,,so if there is no option but costly one ill wait 4 few months n buy ,, so we'll talk bout budget later ,,,,
