I was talking with a person who said his girlfriend owned a Fiero back in the 80's, and she had headrest speakers, something happened they caught fire and caught HER on fire too, she suffered head and face burns--GM picked up the hospital, reconstruction and 120K settlement---anybody ever hear of that?
The only way for that to happen is to apply 12 volts directly to the speakers and then you MIGHT get a little spark to where you could ignite the foam. Most speakers that size would just fizzle and burn out.
A friend of a friends brothers cousins ex wife's stepsister said that she knew for a fact that someone had an ax in the trunk of their FIERO and when they stopped to fast the trunk flew open and the ax popped out and cartwheeled into the open tee-tops embedding itself into the head of the driver killing him instantly causing the now stopped FIERO to be rear ended by a bus load of nuns that caused the headrest speakers to short out due to the conductivity of the blood from the ax in the head and the bus and FIERO burst into flames and burnt to the ground killing all the nuns.
you know how it is some one always knows some one who owned a fiero I was just telling what he said..... I did ask about the hairspray--he said that's why her hair caught on fire... ------------------ Pat Jones

Actually, a speaker could catch fire in a Fiero though..... Cover it with gasoline and hit it with a match, so it IS at least possible

Ummmmmm No. It was pyrotechnics for the Pepsi video he was shooting. He was supposed to be out from under it when it went off, but the charges went off too early, raining down sparks into his hair.

Im with most that say its impossible for a car speaker to catch fire on its own. Maybe if you connected both the leads straight to the battery. If theres any truth to the story, its she prob lit a cigarette and it caught her hairspray on fire. Then theres the one with the Fiero being so small, parked on a hot sunny day, the windshield glass melted onto the dash...
... she had headrest speakers, something happened they caught fire and caught HER on fire too, she suffered head and face burns
Unlikely, but not impossible. It happens so rarely, that it only seems impossible (because we've never heard of such a thing). It could have been a mechanical failure of the voice coil which shorted out, or something in the deck that sent high power directly into the speaker, again burning the voice coil.
I heard someone once tell me that I needed to be careful... because, if you go over 100 miles an hour in the Fiero, there's no weight in the front and it will flip over because the engine is in the back.
(lol, had to bump this, searching for headrest speakers, I forgot to buy them...)

I heard from my wife’s best friend that her brothers second cousin knew someone that had a second wife’s brother that caught fire spontaneously while driving a Fiero he borrowed from a dealer that was stolen from a retired teacher from Lompoc.
Police investigated but said it was not his huffing habit with flammables and smoking cracked had nothing to do with it.
GM bought the car back for twice what it was worth.
