Can I fix a blown speaker?

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.

What causes burnt voice coils?

How do voice coils work?

Voice coils are based on a copper coil energized by an electric current and placed inside a magnetic field usually provided by permanent magnets. The force generated by the coil is proportional to the magnetic field and the direction and magnitude of the electric current.

Why did the wire on my speaker burn out?

When too much power is pumped through the speaker, the tiny magnet wire inside over heats and burns out similar to a fuse. The voice coil itself was bathing in an oily fluid. The idea is to help keep the coil cool so it doesn’t burn out. With that in mind, the thin wire would have likely burned somewhere outside of the cooling fluid.

What happens if you push a speaker cone sideways?

Be sure to push in two points on symmetrical sides of the cone evenly. If you push uneven or not symmetrically on the cone, it will tilt the cone and the voice coil can rub the walls of the gap. This would not be showing damage, but it would just be you pushing the cone sideways.
