Subwoofers are most commonly blown by supplying too much signal to the car audio amplifier. Too much signal results in a "clipping" which is when audio signals voltages reach amplifier's power supply voltages. The result is a "clipped" signal and this can damage the amplifier and subwoofer.

How do I stop my subwoofer from blowing?

By placing a subwoofer in a corner you can boost the output, but sometimes at the expense of sound quality. Lower the noisefloor in your room so that you don't have to turn the volume up so high. That means lowering HVAC noise, closing a door to cut down on external extraneous noises.

Can you fix blown subwoofers?

To fix your blown subwoofer you'll need to take it out of your car, fix or replace any damaged parts, and glue/wire it back together. This process can range from easy to very difficult, depending on the problem.

What causes subwoofers to pop?

Subwoofers make popping noises because of squared waveforms, incorrect cone signals, or overpowered setups. The distorted sounds indicate a mismatch between the input and output based on the speaker's specs. Loose wiring can also cause popping noises.

How do I stop my speakers from blowing?

Speakers generally blow out when too much electrical power is applied. They also blow out from physical damage or ageing/deterioration. Avoid blow-out by keeping speakers at safe listening levels and in safe locations. Replacing the blown parts is typically the only solution to fix blown speakers.

Why are my subs distorting?

If your car audio has a mechanical malfunction owing to excessive loudness, it may result in distortion. This occurs when a speaker is subjected to a higher level than it is capable of managing. It pushes the subwoofer cone well beyond its designed limitations, inflicting strain on the cone material.

How do I make my subs hit harder?

You can also make minor upgrades to your subwoofer to make it hit harder. Change the small cone in front of the subwoofer, change the voice coil or get a new enclosure for the subwoofer. If you don't want to put much effort into it, just turn the volume to zero and play your track with medium bass.

Why does my subwoofer rattle?

Subwoofers often rattle when there are loose components, but it they can also rattle if they are underpowered or overpowered. It's important that you do an inspection on your subwoofers before each and every performance. Subwoofers are crucial devices for your home theatre system.

How do I know if my subwoofer is damaged?

Subwoofers are blown when they either receive too much power or too much of a distorted signal. You can find out if your subwoofer is blown by listening to the sound, reviewing the movement of the woofer, and using a multimeter to find out if the coil is blown.
