Best Answer

the reasons a subwoofer blows is the amount of power running through the speaker is greater than the speakers RMS, or peak power. the cause for this could be the amplifiers power is set higher than what the speaker could handle, because certain amplifiers run too much wattage for speakers with only 2 ohms, for instance. You can also blow subwoofers having set your volume too high, then turning the stereo system off completely. when you turn it back on, it causes the voice coils to spring harshly, blowing the inside. you know a speaker is blown when you play music through it, it sounds like a bag of coins rattling when it performs.

How do you connect subwoofers without all the wires?

that's impossible, unless you want to hook it straight up to the radio, which is possible but you will only be getting 50 watts into a subwooer that usually has around 250-1000 watts so it will barely have any to no excursion, the reason why people have amps is because it has more wattage then a regular stereo..but you don't want to have a too big of a amp because that will blow your subwoofers, so you need to find a amp that is suitable for your subwoofers
