How to determine a failed woofer or tweeter
Hi:
Posted this on another thread but...
How do you diagnose a damaged woofer or tweeter? Want to know so I can see if a problem I am having is from my components or from a damaged speaker. The reason I ask is when I am watching satellite TV on some high frequency stuff I get some distortion/buzzing. Just wondering if it's maybe caused by crappy sound from the channel combined with a cheap amp or is it from the speaker itself?
Thanks.

If it's only high frequency stuff that gets things buzzing then you don't need to check the woofers. How high is the volume level when this occurs?Political Correctness'.........defined

At those levels you are causing the receiver to clip. Turn it down.Political Correctness'.........defined
