Possible Busted Speaker?

[WhiteGTB]

Umm guys, I think I have a busted speaker.. but not sure.

Is there any certain way you can tell?

Some songs where there is alot more bass, I can hear a flutter at the low sounds... is that an indication that is it busted?

Should I open the door trim to check it? it is a passenger side front one.

so the speaker is putting something out? maybe a tear or pinhole in the material, but how would that happen in a sealed cavity, was this one of the areas that was worked on after you got hit by the roo? if so mabe damage at the panel beater?

Hmmm could be possible Pete, will get the door trim off soonish to check.

If the speaker works at normal levels then it's doubtful it has blown. When I first got my car I had problems with one of the speakers at a low level. It turned out that a screw had worked its way loose.

Sounds like it could be a thing at the panel beater after the accident if you ask me.

I wouldn't think that amp would be able to run at any kind of power to blow a speaker unless there was a really unusual peak. The odds of that are extremely rare though.

Most speakers aren't "blown" because of too much power from the amp, it's generally too little power.
People get in their heads that the speakers out spec the amp and they can crank their amps (volume) all the way up. All this does is clip the output of the amp and you end up with a nice DC voltage through the voice coil of the speaker. do this enough and you will burn the coil out.

But that said, when you burn out a voice coil the speaker is generally dead. What you're describing does sound like physical damage to the cone/surround.
