How Do You Fix A Torn Stereo Speaker?
Many modern speakers are quite durable, but speaker cones can still tear. The driver moves up and down thousands of time every second, putting wear on the cone and sometimes tearing it. This is especially likely if you listen to your music at a very high volume. Fortunately, a tear isn’t the end of the story. You can fix that annoying buzzing – at least well enough to last for a while. Step 1 Use the balance to find out which side the torn speaker is on. First, turn the balance all the way over to the left side and listen for buzzing. Then, adjust the balance all the way to the right side. Some equalizers do not turn a side all the way off, so you may hear buzzing all the time. However, the side which buzzes more strongly when the equalizer is adjusted to it is the side with the torn speaker. Step 2 Use the equalizer to find out which speaker is torn. Many stereos have tweeters, woofers and subwoofers on both the left and the right. Turn all the bands all the way down on the equalizer.
