Yeah, I know I can allow the user to adjust the volume, but I also know the kind of folks who'll be using this, and they'll do things like max out the volume and connect 4 ohm speakers in series thinking two speakers will be louder than one. Or worse yet connect them in parallel across their 7w amp rated for 4 ohm speakers and either blow the amp or overheat it or cause distortion, I'm not really sure which.I just don't want them to either blow their speaker or think it sounds crappy and blame it on me.
And if they do blame it on me I want to understand what's going on well enough to explain to them why it's not working the way they want it to.
So what again do you require from us? There is no guaranteed protection from malicious or ignorant users and protecting your reputation is probably not something we are qualified at.
