That is some excellent troubleshooting advice CatBrat. If the OP can isolate it to a specific driver(s) they very well could have been damaged during those scenes. With the system turned off, you can do a quick check by gently and carefully pressing the cone in and if you feel any resistance and/or hear "scraping" like sounds, that driver would need to be replaced.

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
