If you are unsure whether or not your car speakers are damaged, today you will learn about how do you know if your speakers are blown or not. Most of the time car speakers are blown because of running too much power to them or overusing them for long periods of time. For example, if its rated at 50 watts rms and you have a external car amplifier connected providing 100 watts rms, you can are going to blow the speaker eventually even with the gain turned down. The voice coil is usually that gets damaged from overload, this is the copper coil that goes into the magnet. Once the voice coil is blown, you will notice a difference in the sound straight away, also smoke may appear from the basket for a couple of seconds. If you have blown your car speakers and you are at fault, then it will void the warranty with any manufacturer. This is because they have made it clear on the specs what power they should be provided with. Therefore, its your responsibility to take ownership of this and ensure they don't get damaged from being overpowered. However, if its a mechanical failure such as the spider has become loose or the rubber surround has come apart, then you have an valid reason to get an exchange for the product from your local car audio shop which its purchased from.
These are the best ways to tell if a car speaker is blown right away that most car audio shops go by, you can also read about them and work it out yourself at home if you prerfer. This will save you time and money. You can use an electronic multimeter if you want to check the ohms but if you use your own initiative you can tell without any tools straight away.
What does a blown speaker sound like? Using your ear as a test. If your car speakers in your vehicle are blown they will make a muffled, fuzzy, crackling or rattling sound. Sometimes if the damage is bad, there will be no sound coming out of them at all. If all the other speakers are working perfectly fine and there is just one with signs of a blown speaker, then only one will need replacing not all of them.
Using your hands to tell. Turn up the volume on your car stereo, remove the metal grill from the speaker and place your hand over the cone. If you notice vibrations being transferred onto your hands with the bass beat the speaker is fine and in good working order. However, if you seem to feel none at all or jitteriness of the movement this is another sign of the car speaker blown. Also push down the cone when no music is playing, if you can barely push the cone downwards its a second sign of a symptom for a cheap worn out blown car speaker.
