It's that awful sound when the audio drops and distortion kicks in...
Blowing your speakers or car sub woofers are never fun, especially when your in the groove with your music.
Luckily, there are a few ways to prevent this.
When you first install subwoofers into your car, making sure the RMS power, of the AMP, matches the Subwoofer's max RMS rating, is crucial.
Some people even like to purchase an AMP that has more power than the sub so that it will even further reduce the chance of getting a blown speaker.
There are different levels at which a sub can be blown.
Partially blown subs sound heavily distorted or less thumpy because the coil has been shaken away from the cone.
The speakers can most likely recover on their own from something like that, but dont take it lightly.
If you hear everything drop and get either very quiet, distorted, or even mute, then you have "blown" the speakers.
This mean the coil and cone have completely separated from each other and in most cases it isn't worth paying to have fixed.
Sometimes when listening to songs, a sudden peak or change in the music can also "blow" away the coil a little.
So make sure when listening to hard hitting music, not have the EQ or volume extremely high so you can avoid blowing your subs.
Obviously, some discretion should be used when cruising down the highway blasting your favorite tunes; its all in the back of our mind, but we must make sure we dont go past the power the Sub can handle.
If you start to hear a rattling sound or even a bit of foreign distortion you should make sure to turn those babies down.
Spending a few extra bucks to get the more powerful car sub woofer/amplifier can save you in the future from having no music to listen to and re-installing a new system entirely!!
