Did You Blow Your Cheap Speakers So You Have an Excuse to Upgrade?
Bumping your favorite tunes in the summertime can come with a steep cost. If your system isn’t set up properly, you can easily blow your speakers out and make the sound quality become muddled and unlistenable — especially if you have sub-par speakers to begin with. Thankfully, there are a few easy ways to tell if you have a blown speaker, as well as to diagnose any other issues your car stereo system is facing.
We all love listening to loud music on an excellent sound system as we drive down the road. What should you do to get that crystal-clear quality you want from your sound system, though? First off, if you notice things sound different or off, you’re going to want to test out the system to look for distortion and other problems. Read on to learn more about how to diagnose and what you should do if your car speaker system is damaged.
Car speakers typically blow out when they experience too much signal for too long. It can be caused by the cone in a speaker being forced to move further than it was designed to move, or it can happen because a speaker’s internal components are burned or melted by a power surge.
You Might Need A Stronger Battery...
If you have recently upgraded your vehicle, one reason your speakers may blow out is because you didn’t get a more powerful battery to match your upgraded audio system. Making sure the system is supported by the right battery size is crucial to avoid blowouts.
Check the speaker’s cone and voice coil for damage
Replace if necessary
Test if it’s fixed

This battery is light in weight and powerful. I have never heard my system sound so powerful. My voltage doesn't drop below 14.4V. My mids and highs are super clear and my bass.....OMG. Bass hits harder and deeper. None of the lights in or outside my car dim.
Man this thing hits hard for a single 10 and it’s compact enough to put in my car and it’s like it’s not even there I have it paired with a kicker cx 400.1 and it gives it everything it needs
Been using the sa12s for the past 7 years and have been a huge fan of them. Super loud and can take a real beating. Sound quality is nice and feels solid
Haven’t had subs in years. Thought I’d pick up a lil something to mess around with. For under three bills this is a nice setup for the novice. Amp is quite powerful and pushes these subs quite well. Bigger amp is in the mail looking forward to Father’s Day. Now I’m hooked and I wanna go pro. Thanks a lot Jeff created yet another bass head.
Could not find a way to update or edit my original review so adding to it this way. Since last review I have upgraded amplifiers to the deaf bonce aak 4000.1D (purchased here) and upgraded my alternator to the mechman 320a alt (also purchased here) and have upgraded my wire from 4 awg ofc to 0 awg ofc with 4/0 welding cable being my primary run to the back. This subwoofer handles this amplifier amazingly well. I am not sure what I'm getting out of the amplifier but I've done all I can to get the most out of it and tuned using an oscilloscope. Still this 4,000 watt amplifier is not enough for this subwoofer. Most definitely it is hitting VERY hard but no where near being maxed out. Now I'm curious to see how much clean power this subwoofer can handle. Attatching pictures of how it is set up now. Again THANKS BIG JEFF!!
