What causes a speaker to stop working?
Speakers are essentially large coils of wire, and when they “blow”, it’s generally that the coil is taking too much current and isn’t being cooled enough, and is damaged. If the speaker is completely destroyed, this may be that the wire in the coil is broken or shorted, so that it doesn’t operate.
How do I know if my speakers are blown out?
The most common aural indication of a blown speaker is an unpleasant buzzing or scratching sound, by itself or roughly at the pitch of the note the speaker is attempting to reproduce. Or there could be no sound at all.
Can you repair speakers?
Of course, the first question is always “can you fix a blown speaker?” Yes, you can, but it’s rarely recommended to do-it-yourself. DIY speaker fixing is usually quick and dirty and only done on speakers you don’t really care about having perfect quality, such as in your 20 year old car.
How do you test speakers?
There are two common ways to test a speaker. If you’re in a pinch, you can use a 9-volt battery….
- Touch the positive side of the battery to the positive side of the speaker and the negative to the negative.
- Only touch the battery to the terminals for a quick moment.
- It is best to use a partially discharged battery.
Can you fix a dead speaker?
Speakers can break in multiple places. Depending on how your speaker has broken, repairing it to fully functional use may or may not be possible. Particularly when the cone or wall of the speaker blows out, often it simply isn’t possible to fully repair the damage done to the speaker.
Are speakers repairable?
There is a variety of issues that can occur with speaker voice coils, and sometimes it is possible to repair them. Occasionally on smaller speakers with no adjustments it can be possible to repair them by easing them back into the centre. Gently hold the cone – remember it is made of paper and can damage easily.

How do I troubleshoot the sound of my speakers?
If the sound is distorted or mushy, use your hand to flex the cable with a low-volume input. If sound varies, replace the cable and clean the connections. Also check polarity of the speakers (see below). Carefully press the cone in and out with your fingers to determine smooth action, and replace it if action is not smooth.
How do you fix a speaker cone that is damaged?
Repair a damaged speaker cone: Identify the location of any small holes on the cone. Apply rubber cement to the front and back side of any holes in the cone. If necessary, place a piece of thin kraft paper over the first layer of rubber cement to keep the cone from tearing.
How do I know if my speakers are connected?
You can check the speakers’ connections to each other by looking at the cables connecting them in the back of each speaker, and you can check your speakers’ connection to your computer by looking at the connection in the back of your computer.
What to do if your car radio speaker is not working?
* If the problem persists, turn the receiver’s program selector from “Phono,” “CD” or “Tape” to “FM Tuner.” * If the speaker remains dead, the receiver is probably at fault. If both speakers now work, the problem is in the turntable, CD player or tape deck. Such repairs are best done by a professional.
