Circuit City Cityadvantage Plan
So...2 years ago next monday my CC advantage plan will be up for my subwoofers. I want new ones, possibly an upgrade.
Think that would be blowning my subs by 'accidentally' hooking up a 500 watt amp and a 250 watt amp to each subwoofer that can only handle 250 watts? And if this accidentally happened less than a week before the warrenty was up.
Anyone work at CC that can tell me this or anyone that this unfortunete mishap has hapeed to? Or anyone that wants to give a random, or even not so random comment about this topic?

Well let me tell you a little story about that. A few years back, my old roommate worked for CC. He bought a $1k alpine deck, and purchesed the cityadvantage plan. His deck broke once about 2 years ago, he took it back, they fixed it. It broke earlier this year, so he took it back again. He was without the deck for over 2 months when it was finally sent back. He went to pick it up, and it wasn't fixed properly. So, they sent the deck in again. After 2 more months, they claim that the deck can't be fixed. Since the deck is no longer made, they say that they'll replace it with something comparable, and then lowball him. So, prepare to get screwed.

Or I wouldn't toss on the 50 since I owe my parents 200+ from the last two or three weeks and haven't still got some bills back, and also since I have to quit my job tomorrow.

i worked for circuit city as an installer(quit last year) and when customers brought their subs that were 'blown', installers had to check them out. all we did was ohm out the sub to see if the voice coil was ok. if it was a 4 ohm speaker, it should read ~4 ohms, and if it did not, we just swapped the subs out as long as we had the same model on still. you need to go to customer service first and tell them the subs are blown. then they will send a person to check the subs from the car audio department. the only question is how did it blow a week before the warranty was over. also, it depends on the manager you get if they have to get a manager to do the transaction.
