How To Know If A Subwoofer Is Damaged?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was running a 30 second, 50 hz tone earlier today and all of a sudden the sound on my 10 inch amp kinda died out (not suddenly, but you know what I mean). Would this have hurt the woofer, or was it the amp's problem? Also, is there any finite way to know if a woofer is actually damaged? Thanks.

take it out and look at it. Push the cone in the center and see if there is any noise it shouldnt be making.

you should check the amp connections and connections to the sub first. then check voltage, how much power and what sub were you running ?

easiest way is to put a C cell battery or whatever size you have on the speaker wire.

+ of battery to + speaker wire and - to -

granted all your connections are good the speaker should move. if it doesn't then its fucked
