How to tell if a Subwoofer is Blown
Hey Guys…
Do you think your sound system is wrecked? Do you want to know if your Subwoofer is blown or not? Here, this posts shows clearly if your Subwoofer is blown!
First off, make sure it is wired up correctly to your car and try the sound! Still nothing? Try it in another car and see if it works… Still no? Watch this video to see if your Subwoofer is blown!
If you have a very strong bass, which is wound up very loud, and assuming that the amplifier is NOT clipping, the speaker can blow simply because the cone/suspension/voicecoil fracture or otherwise separate. Suspension failure tends to me the most common – the cone tries to exit from the speaker due to excessive movement, and the suspension fractures around the extreme edge of the speaker itself – most are foam-rubber these days, but very old subs could still use corrugations.
This allows the speaker cone to move forward excessively, carrying with it, the voicecoil and former. These essentially then “Pop” out of the magnet, destroying the voicecoil connections in the process. This is what you MIGHT have heard as “Popping” a speaker.

Hey Guys…
Anyone wanting a first car? Well read on!
I have a Citroen Saxo that I brought down the road of a mate. It is in great condition and runs fine. The bad thing is that I have to wait until I am 17 to drive! If you are looking for reliable places to buy cars from, here is a little bit of help from me.
1. AutoTrader
AutoTrader is one of the best car selling sites on the internet. The cars are cheap and are great for your first car. They have Motorbikes aswell. You can find cars close to you so you don’t have to travel far to get it. The facts about the cars tell you how good condition they are in.
Yes, I know its eBay! Ebay sells basically everything on there so all you need to do is look in the Motors section and find a good, cheap, reliable car. Best cars I would recommend would be small, Hatchback cars such as the Citroen Saxo, Peugeot 106, Peugeot 306 etc.
Finally, one of the most honest and reliable ways of getting a car is of a mate (if your mate is generous then he will give you a discount from the price of the car). So just go around, talk to your mates and ask if they know anyone or if they themselves are selling a car. If so, get it! Unless it is in terrible condition.
I know people who have got cars from these points and they say how well the cars are. I hope this helped your and get a nice first car!
