WHATZ THE PROBLEM

there is a really narrow gap between the magnet and the voice coil that is attached to the bottom of the cone of the speaker. When an amplifier is pushed to the point of distortion, the voice coil heats up and warps. The warped voice coil, which is now black and bubbled scrapes the magnet as it moves up and down in that narrow gap. Once the thin layer of enamel that insulated the wires wears off the copper voice coil, it will start shorting out inside the speaker, and will eventually destroy the amplifier.

EIther its blown or they are cheap speakers. Try getting JL Audio Infinty, they are great. And no matter how loud you like the sound, DO NOT play them at full volume all the time, they will blow much faster. Also, if you have an amplifier, make sure you have turned down the high-end sound because the high end sound (treble) will blow them immediately. You can adjust this on the amplifier itself, and it doesn't hurt to play around with the sound. Just make sure only bass is coming through the woofer. If it was installed by a pro, it should be set correctly. Finally, if you have a port in the speaker box(es) make sure there is nothing blocking the port. This will also mess it up.

After you purchase your replacement, be sure to set the gain correctly to prevent this from happening.
The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS of the source (head unit, etc.) to the input of the amp to prevent clipping.
Here is a guide to help you set the gain correctly:

You'll need Microsoft Excel, a multi-meter (AC volt meter) and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.
If you don't have Excel let me know and I'll send you a condensed version. sparky3489@yahoo.com
