: QUESTION: What happens if you are pushing your amp near its maximum and the next song is 20 dB higher than the previous one?
: ANSWER: You'll likely blow a tweeter as the demands on your amp have just increased one hundred fold.
: SOLUTION: Normalize the sound levels when burning CDs. I checked "MP3 CD Maker" normalization by downloading the test version that allows you to burn 4 songs. It worked like a charm. $30 is a small price to pay to protect your speakers from abrupt increases in recording levels (so common to MP3s)
