How do you fix blown out car speakers?
I drove my friends around all last night. It was so much fun, but I think I blew my car’s speakers out. It’s my parents’ car, so I’m a bit freaked out. How can I fix blown out car speakers?

Yikes! I’m glad you had fun, but let’s try and get these speakers fixed.
To fix blown out car speakers, you’ll first need to find out which speaker is blown. To do this, use the car’s equalizer to isolate the sound. As you rotate through the speakers, listen for any weird sounds. In most cases, you’ll hear distortion coming from the blown speaker.
Once you know which speakers are blown, you’ll need to take the speaker out. To ensure this happens safely, disconnect the car’s battery and then disconnect the speaker’s wires.
The most common issue with blown speakers is a damaged or moved voice coil. Listening to music loudly can shake the car, causing the coil to move. Pushing the coil back into place often fixes the issue.
That said, if your voice coil is damaged or you tore a speaker, you’ll likely need professional help. While replacing speakers isn’t difficult, dealing with electronic components without prior knowledge can be dangerous.
In this case, you may want to fess up to your parents and let them know what happened. To make up for the cost of new speakers, tell your parents about the
