What happens when a speaker gets blown out?

Can a blown out speaker fix itself?
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. If you?re not getting any sound out of just one speaker, then trace the wiring all the way back to the amplifier and see if any have wiggled loose.
How do I stop my speakers from blowing?
Keep the volume on your receiver at least 5-6dB below its max setting. The volume adjustment on most receivers goes from -80dB (mute) to about +16dB (max). By staying below -6dB below that max setting you can typically avoid over-driving the receiver, which could potentially damage your speakers and receiver.
How long should speakers last?
Most speakers last twenty plus years in a good environment like most homes. Outside with varying temperatures, conditions and humidity expect less. Amps is tough to say because of the different quality of components inside them, capacitors leak etc.

What causes a blown speaker?
Most failures occur from ELECTRICAL failure caused by applying too much power to the speaker?s voice coil. Constant over-powering results in ?burned? voice coils. Usually, too low of frequency applied to a small suspension type driver (tweeter/midrange) can physically cause the speaker surround to delaminate.
Can you damage speakers by playing them too loud?
Playing music/audio too loud may cause damage to speakers due to excess heat in the drivers or even mechanical failure of the driver suspension. Speakers have power ratings that, when exceeded (by increasing the amplifier/volume control), will burn/melt the driver coil and damage the speaker.
Is it better to overpower or Underpower speakers?
Speaker replacement is also the single most cost-effective car stereo upgrade you can perform. It?s better to overpower a speaker than to underpower it ? the distortion caused when you push a low-powered amp or receiver to its limit is much more likely to harm a speaker than too much power.
Do speakers get worse with age?
