Any one know how to fix my speakers?
winchman:
So I just disconnect the speaker drive unit and test it for resistance?
Think they are 8 ohms

Wont work
The resistance is reactive, you cant just meter it out :) BUT if you see 0 something is wrong.
If its a scratchy type noise then at some time the voicecoil has been overdriven and melted.
Power everything off and isconnect the speaker. GENTLY place your fingers equidistant round the cone halfway between the center and the surround and push using as little force as you can, dont give it a shove. The cone should move smoothly untill it hits its maximum mark, you should not hear anything when you do this. if there is a grating nise/scratching sound or it doesnt move smoothly then the speaker is probobly toast. If thats ok, then inspect the foam surround and the centre cap. Make sure the surround is intact and attached to the cne and chassis all the way round. Make sure the cap is secure and not comming away rom the cone. If the cap is comming away, turn the speaker on its back cone facing up and press the cap down gently so its makes contact again (dont cave it in) then pour a small amount of shellac (or clear nail varnish) around it and let it dry before releasing.

theres allsorts it could be really... hard to say without looking at it. goats advice is good though, give it a try. it all depends on what kind of distortion it is, whether its signal distortion or physical distortion, etc etc

I've got 4 JVC speakers hooked through my Hi-Fi and then my PC, now I push them HARD and they've yet to even faulter.
