Blown speaker?

Question

Ok, i was having fun, and listening to music. Maybe a little loud, but I do it often, and am usually careful not to go past 90% of my speakers capabilities. I judge it based on woofer movement. And I think i blew my main right channels woofer. Cuz i was listening to a song, and saw it move at a ultra-low freq. for a sec, and instantly turned it down.

I noticed the same reaction my head-phones got, when i they blew. So i have turned it off, and its been bout 5 min. since i did that. And im worried i damaged it cuz im only 16, and dont have a job to replace them right now. I just love my speakers and dont want to have to replace it.

Im going to let it rest, and then try to see how it is in a little bit, but any adivce?

Answer 1

A common misconception is that if you have speakers that can handle more power than your receiver can deliver you'll be safe. The fact of the matter is that if you over work your amplifiers you are much more likely to blow speakers than if you use a receiver that is rated at a higher wattage than your speakers.

I wish people that don't know what they are talking about would stop answering questions. You are going to cause someone to:
1. ruin expensive electronic gear
2. burn someone's house down
3. cause someone to be electrocuted

Do you really want to live with that?

Answer 3

Well, turn it back on and test it. If it is blown it will either sound very distorted and any volume or just not work at all. If this has
occurred, then it needs to be replaced. If it works fine, then you
are okay.

RULE OF THUMB: If your speakers sound strained or distorted,
you have the volume too high. Just like driving a manual trans-
mission on a car, the car will tell you if you're driving the stick
properly of not by the way it reacts. The same with speakers.

You may have blown the voice-coil of the speaker; in that case, no sound at all will come out, and the speaker cannot be repaired. It is possible, however, that you overdrove the speakers maximum excursion, and the speaker is jammed. If you can get the grille off the front so that you can see the speaker cone, then gently press on it. If it moves easily, it is not stuck, and the coil is blown out. If it doesn't move, press gently on the cone near the center to see if you can dislodge it.

Sounds like you did blew your speaker. Resting will not help,
If you still get sound from it I recommend that you keep the volume at low levels in the future. When you hear noise other than the music you are playing your speaker too loud.
You will probably have to replace the speaker sooner or later.

I agree: turn it on and see what happens.

I am also of the opinion it is better to have an amp with lots of power capbility. The way I think of it is this....

An amp is taking a huge amount of power from the wall socket and trying to dole it out to the speakers in the right way. If it has low power handling, when it attempts to send the power out it can "lose control" and send large amounts of distorted, out of control pwer to the speakers and blow them. A high-power-handling amp is less likely to do that.

They generally can't be repaired-get new speakers and make sure you don't drive them into distortion...its those harmonics that blow speakers.

Answer 9

get speakers that are rated for more power then your amp can supply this way you can turn them all the way up and then you can play ur stuff at full volume with no risk
