Just installed a Elk-73 compact echo speaker (20W, 8 ohm) on output 2 of an Elk M1G. This was the only speaker on that output. It lasted about 2 days and then gave an OUTPUT 2 error on the panel. Sure enough the speaker now measures 1.4 ohms vs. the 8 ohms I measured prior to putting it up. The supervisory voltage seems sky high at 13V. Is this normal for output 2? That seems high to run into a speaker. Is that what fried the speaker? The speaker does even seem to have the burnt wiring smell too. Great... Anyone deal w/Elk on returns or how to? I bought it around 12/06 or so.
PS: I also need to return 2 GE NX-454 compact door contacts. Bought 12 and one did not work & one failed after about a week. Very happy w/ them other than that. Very compact... Impressive. Anyone deal w/ returning items to GE directly vs. thru the vendor?
