If the speaker smells burnt than it probably is. Turn the sub on low volume and listen. If you hear scraping one of the coils are rubbing and you can get it fixed at a local music store.

Check your guitar output your musical leads, you pedals, if applicable and your amplifier input. I, myself have never blown nor heard a blown speaker so i cant tell you for sure what happens when its blown, although you could take the amp and your guitar and all your equipment to your local music shop and ask for advice.


How can you tell if your speaker is blown?

It may not make any sound, it may make a small crude sound, take the speaker and smell the open part of it. if there is any burning smell then there is a high chance that you have blown your speaker. Push on the cone. If it will not move than it is not customer servicable. If it is making extra crnching noise it is blown. If it moves VERY easily there is a small chance the coil burnt itself off of the former. Also the coil could've liquified.

How do you repair a blown speaker?

You could repair a blown speaker, but it's way cheaper just to buy a new speaker instead of breaking it open and buying separate parts. To repair a broken speaker, you need expert skills and tools. Without, you are likely to damage those parts of the speaker that were previously undamaged, and you're unlikely to repair the initial damage. Many shops will sell or replace blown speakers, you take it to someone who knows how to fix them. its as simple as that. or you get a new one and throw the trashed one out. whats the use of a blown speaker anyway? Well almost any speaker can be fixed for a fraction of the cost, It is better to keep to keep the speaker that was intended to be used with the system, keeping the original speaker means keeping the original intended sound. Orban Audio Speaker Repair provides a speaker repair service backed by a one year warranty. For more info go to www.orbanaudio.com


You home theater speakers are crackling What should you do?

The most common cause is bad wiring. Check the connections or replace the speaker wiring. If that does not work, check which speaker has the problem and see if a cone is blown. To do this, place your ear near the cone and gently press it in (don't push to hard). If the cone is blown you will hear a raspy rubbing sound when the cone moves. Replace the cone or the speaker if it is blown. If this does not work, change your speaker connections around to see if it is the amplifier.


How can you stop your speakers just fuzzing?

yes use the force this is so silly if all you hear is "fuzzing" then the speaker is blown and there is no way to fix it (without spending more than the speaker costs). If you hear a weard noise when the volume is 1/2 way up or all the way up then it is blown aswell. A blown speaker happens when the source of music is sending a "dirty" signal or you turn the speaker up past its rms/peak for a prolonged time.

Well, it may smell, sound quieter or louder, and when it sounds louder it sounds like its sort of farting.

If it will not move than it is most likely not customer servicable.
