Speaker Field Destroy Policy
Dealers in good standing will have the opportunity to participate in the Hertz speaker field destroy
program. Any speaker with a sheet cost of $350 or less can qualify for field destroy warranty replacement.
In order to qualify for field destroy the dealer must submit pictures of the defect, serial number of the
product and proof of that speaker with serial number being destroyed by cutting the cone and removing
the voice coil. Field destroy is not automatic. An RA must be obtained before a field destroy is authorized.
Elettromedia-USA reserves the right to request the defective product be sent back for warranty
inspection.   More Info
