Hello. I have a bluetooth speaker and when i turn the volume all up (in the phone and in the speaker) it doesn't sound like it's being "blown" but i want to know if i'm damaging it even if i do not usually hear any "blowning" sound. I probably hear some ( really small) distortion every 30 - 60s. Should i never turn the volume all up? How do i know what's the maximum i should turn it up even if i can difficultly hear any problem? Sorry for my Enlish!
Good evening. Thank you for the useful video, and you’re a legend for still replying after a year! I was wondering if it is likely to damage studio monitors by clipping inside a DAW by 6 to 8db. I am worried I could destroy my new unit
Thank you! Clipping inside the DAW could easily be passed directly to the monitors…not sure why you’re running into clipping in the digital domain…that’s nasty!
@@AxiomHomeTheaters hi Using Paradigm Studio 100 reference speakers The right speaker is working flawlessly but I have noticed on certain music tracks there is like a scratchy noise from the yellow midrange driver almost as if the speaker is loose. It also appears only at certain frequency and lenght of tone. I have to inject frequency generator tones to actually determine the resonant freq this problem appears. You think its damage?
@@pietpompiepompiepiet940 It's possible the driver is rubbing only slightly and is damaged, which is why you only hear it on certain tracks. I would contact Paradigm technical support and see what they say.
or an airport is loose and needs tightening, adhesive or puddy. Look at your airport and see if if it has cracks at the seal, or put your fingers and press on it while playing sound and see if it helps. This was my situation with BIC Acoustic PL 200 II
I guess one of the smaller speakers in my car is slightly blown, but I think my woofer sounding a bit shaky is just the car rattling and not my woofer, though they may just be slightly blown.
A quick test is to play something at a reasonable level with lots of bass and press in areas of the panel that holds the speaker. Door cards in particular can rattle at different frequencies.
I have a receiver that always blows out the tweeter of rigth side speaker always happens with the rigth channel speaker's why does my receiver keep doing this. ?
To test to see if they are "blown," stage your gain on your amp and head unit properly (basically set them in order of flow so that they are just below the point at which they don't clip, first the head unit with amp at nominal gain, then turn up amp to just below clipping, do a search for more details), and then play a tone sweep (search TH-cam). Your speaker tone will change drastically at particular frequency ranges. This indicates they are blown. You'll probably notice some differences from left to right. Turns out my left speaker isn't blown at all but my right one is and shows in a couple places.
Excellent advice, I would just exercise caution with the playback levels when using test tone sweeps. They contain far more acoustic energy than typical music programme, so can tax both the speakers and amplifier.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters thank you for the addition. Yes, you should start with your volume low and use your ears to gauge what a good level is with respect to how your music sounds when you are just below clipping thresholds at all stages.
If it sounds bad, you might be damaging the speaker, turn it down. If it smells, you’re probably damaging the voice coil, turn it down. I burned out the voice coils of two beautiful car subs back in the ‘90s. And I did it unintentionally with the Metallica “Justice for All” album! The subs were probably getting killed with amp clipping but I didn’t notice and didn’t turn it down. Goodbye Jensen sub, you were good. Goodbye Cerwin Vega replacement sub, you were phenomenal!!!! RIP.
Axiom Audio , it was a learning experience. I was a kid and it probably saved my hearing, lol! Oh yeah....one more tidbit...if you put your sub box on the speaker wires, it’ll rub and eventually destroy the insulation, short the wires and fry the the amp. I did that too!...unintentional destruction. Keep it all tidy, everybody!
@@MusicStudent1 Fantastic point, and not just for subs, nothing should ever be on top of any of your cables! Just not a safe thing to do for any wiring or cabling.
one the two KEF 101 speakers has a crackle sound on one of the speakers, but I don't know if it is the tweeter or the board. Could you assist/direct me in this matter? Thank you
If you're comfortable the best thing would be to swap drivers one at a time, between the two speakers. If the crackle moves to the other speaker, you know that it's the swapped driver that is at fault.
I have an old pair of JL-730W Kenwoods and I'm hearing scratching now, The day before I had driven the speakers loud, but the audio wasn't distorted, so I'm not sure what's going on with them.
It’s possible you have overheated the voice coils and their formers and they have become slightly deformed in shape. If you press gently on the cones to move them, so you hear some scratching or roughness?
I have no idea what happened to mine I was on holiday for a few weeks I came back plugged them in and if it's slightly above barely audible it just sounds awful
If your speakers have grilles on them, remove them and make sure something is not visually wrong with any of the speaker components. Otherwise check your receiver/amplifier to make sure a setting has not been changed.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters everything looks fine but they just don't work at all now gonna have to see if someone who knows more about equipment knows what's up with it
@@lilwombat If you have another set of speakers try them, and if they work, you know it's not the receiver/amplifier. That would at least narrow down which component isn't working.
I had somebody connect to my speakers through bluetooth by accident and play a very loud airplane sound for maybe 30 sec the audio quality was loud and distorted sounding now my speakers have very little bass and are less sensitve to lower volume levels could this indicate a blown speaker?
Although it’s not as common, headphone drivers can also be overdriven and damaged just like speakers. It’s also possible that over time the driver in your headphones has sagged and the voice coil is now scraping slightly.
I have a pair of Klipsch KLF20 they used to sound great!! They shaked everything in the garage, but today when I was playing killing me softly from the Fugees, I noticed a rattling sound, also they go like, "TROP, TROOP, TROOP, even on. Moderate volume, any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Sounds like one ore more of the voice coils might have overheated and deformed. All you can do would be to take it to a good service tech to know for sure.
I blew one of the stock JBL speakers in the back of my Toyota, with the stock head unit, so I got new alpine speakers. Now, it seems like I’ve blown the alpine speakers with a stock head unit
If you purchased high-quality speakers and the only thing wrong is the drivers are blown, then yes, it would probably be worth it. If your speakers didn't wow you to begin with, then it might be a good time to look for an upgrade.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters I can hear it well, only when bass is involved it is a bit messy. The speakers don't have even decent bass when they were new. They are mid + high range,
Quick question. I understand that Axiom subs are DSP controlled. I was wondering in that case if it is possible to damage the woofer by playing it too loud and bass at the max or if the DSP will prevent the woofer from being over driven, no matter the settings and volume?
Under normal operating conditions with music or movie program signals, the DSP limiter will protect the drive unit from over-excursion at all times, regardless of the volume setting.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters Thank you. The reason I was asking was because I wanted to check what my new EP800 could do and looking for the deepest bass to demo a subwoofer, what comes often is the opening credits (first 20/25s) of the movie Edge of tomorrow. However a lot of warnings regarding not playing this at reference level as this was supposedly mixed too hot and there has been reports of some subs being damaged while playing it. So if I understand correctly, since Axiom subs are DSP controlled, they will never be damaged by something like this, even playing at reference level, correct? Thanks again.
@@bdpf1744 You will be fine…just don’t run it on a loop! As with any regular speaker, if you start to hear any strange mechanical noises or smell anything, turn down the volume. While the DSP will protect the woofer from over-excursion, heat stress can still play a part.

I accidentally put speaker ring foam in the back of my car speaker magnet . They sounding good for a month . Then last night they start to sound clipping . Is it overheat due the foam?if i remove them quickly can my speaker sound normal?
When you say your magnet did you push the foam into a vent at the back of the speaker motor? If so you might have damaged the driver due to reduced cooling. Remove the foam and see if the sound returns to normal.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters but in the morning they sound normal . When i park my car under the sun and start to listen radio,the sound is clipping . I just stick the foam behind the speaker magnet . I hope my speaker is okay😭
mine i have a setero aiwa and the speakers outta nowwhere make a loud high pitch sound then stop working then later one they work again it repeats over and over
It sounds like you are either clipping your amplifier badly, or there is a bad connection inside your speakers. Since it is happening to both speakers you are probably clipping the amp.

There are two things I would check: If your computer speakers are powered, make sure they are plugged in correctly and that the power supply is still working. Usually there will be a little light on it. The next step would be to try your speakers plugged into another computer to see if it’s an issue with your computer or the settings.
@@alessiacasco if the sound is buzzing, it's possible that the plug or the jack is damaged for your computer. I would try the speakers into another computer, or the headphone jack on your cellphone. If it does not buzz, then the computer is the problem. If it still buzzes, you either have a problem with the speakers themselves, or the wiring/plug.
Different type of 'speaker' entirely, and unless there's been physical damage or water, this shouldn't happen. Suggest talking to the phone manufacturer.
I don't have a amp in my car it's just my stereo and I love bass and when I listen to some of my songs time passes and then it gets a static sound which really is bothersome but after I get out of my car for a little bit they are back to normal what going on?
It's possible that your head unit is overheating, and we suggest looking into a dedicated subwoofer and amp. However, car stereos are not our specialty.
Hello, I don't know what happened to my speakers but I got high quality laptop (gaming), I had amazing sound even on 50% of system audio. And with Nahimic 3 which is special software for MSI laptop even better...1 day I played 1 game and heared huge crackling sound and let it go for minute max, and after it ended a game. And I realized my sound is hugely decreased and clear audio too. Now I have all almost on max but sound way worse than before, low sound, now is audio not clear and sounds weird...I don't know what happened. Can it be something with speakers or is it with drivers ? I updated all but still not better. I really want to go to get my audio back but now still sure if it can be speakers damage or something different...Please help me, if you can answer. I can give you more details if you want but I don't know what is the problem and if is way lower sound also problem with damaged speakers. Sound is not even clear as before, as I wrote. Thank you for your time reading this.
I’m not sure if you are using computer speakers with built-in amplifiers, but it sounds like something might have failed with the electronics built into the speakers. I would contact the manufacturer and see if they have any suggestions. And sorry for missing your earlier question about this! Recently discovered that TH-cam does not notify of every comment, but now we manually check daily to try and catch all comments. Thanks for watching, and good luck!
@@AxiomHomeTheaters Thank you so much for your answer. I liked the video and keep up the good work! I am already contacted the shop where I bought it. I will now try last 1 fix they told me to do, and if doesn't help, I am going to get propably new laptop cuz this 1 is damaged. Anyway thanks again, and have a nice day ;).
My air tube in my subwoofer makes a rattling noise for some reason. Anyone know why? My speaker isn't blown it's perfectly fine, but the tube where the air escapes is rattling.
Check to see if the port tube is loose…you can usually tell without opening the cabinet by trying to rock it with your hand. If it is the adhesive holding it has likely failed over time. I would contact the original manufacturer for advice. Thanks for watching 👍
@@AxiomHomeTheaters I checked, the adhesive is tightly secured. I know someone that knows alot about speakers, they told me my speaker is blown. Thank you for the reply :)
I upgraded my door speakers to 6.5s skar with a 1500 kicker amp and on some songs low volume or high volume it starts to crackle not sure why its just one of the speakers crackling
So today I was playing music and they sound completely fine. They’re clear and have good bass still but during certain songs with the bass where I usually have it I’ll hear a popping sound. Does anyone know what that is? It sounds like a suction cup being pulled off a glass.
If it sounds mechanical it’s possible that you are “bottoming” the woofer. This means that you are driving the woofer beyond its limits and the voice coil is hitting the back plate of the motor system, creating a mechanical popping sound. If this just started occurring you might want to remove the woofer from one of your speakers and have a close look at the surround and the spyder/damper (attached to the back side of the cone neck) to check for damage. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your speakers.
One example would be if you're listening to a stark recording of female voice. If instead of very pure sound it's fuzzy, or you buzzing, when the singer hits certain notes, this would indicate a problem with your speakers. Hope that clarifies things for you, thanks for your question, and for watching.
If I can get some feed back on an issue that would be amazing. I have 2 - Qsc k12 speakers and they’ve always been amazing. Lately the speakers sound sooo harsh and loud like it’s not healthy sound. Everything is gained correctly, seriously there’s no reason these speakers should be sounding this loud and harsh. It sounds like the gain on my mixer is cranked so it sounds very hot and over gained and harsh and loud. But again everything is properly set etc. Nothing sounds buzzing or anything like that it’s just so harsh sounding. I’ve tried different mixers, different audio interfaces and the speakers are my last option. Do speakers start to produce harsh sound when they’re going bad? I’m going to go buy 2 of the k12.2’s to see if it’s the speakers but since I’ve never heard them sounding “blown” like crackling or buzzing etc I never thought they were bad. If someone can let me know if this is a sign of the speakers going bad that would be super helpful. Again the speakers sound very clear and fine but harsh and loud when I get them to an appropriate level. So now if I wanted to get a crowed going at say a bar, my volume will have to be wayy more lower for it not to kill my ears and then I can’t captivate the energy and vibe of the venue because of the harsh sound. I hope this all made sense and if anyone can help me out that would be awesome. I really hope someone says hey man your speakers are dying go buy new ones and then I will be so happy. I just want this problem fixed because I host two shows a week and I am losing my hearing and I’m livid.
If the sound has changed all of a sudden, it suggests to me that something might have happened to the internal electronics, or the tweeters. I would speak to QSC to see if they have any ideas.

@@AxiomHomeTheaters my is a blutooth speaker and yes it makes a rubbing sound and something, even when i play songs a little louder. can we fix this issue
@@darkiedidi At this point I would suggest contacting the manufacturer of your speaker.
Bruh all I hear is my window shaking on one side.....
My Bluetooth is now very quiet
i couldn't hear anything because my speakers made a fuzzy sound but i turned on captions
i need help im just 11 and dont know, i have my speakers on full vol and i can only barely hear it when i put my ear close to it, my speakers stopped worked a long time ago but i didnt care to fix it, now the audio from my computer wont let me pick it, im on windows and my pc doesnt pop up as an audio so im trying to fix my speakers, advice for my pc audio or speakers would work i have edifier speakers if that helps and i have a cat who got cat hair on the front part of the speaker.
There are two things I would check: If your computer speakers are powered, make sure they are plugged in correctly and that the power supply is still working. Usually there will be a little light on it. The next step would be to try your speakers plugged into another computer to see if it’s an issue with your computer or the settings.
what are the main cause of blown computer speakers? Mine are blown and I have no idea why
Depends, do they not work at all, or do they just sound strange?
@@AxiomHomeTheaters they just sound strange, kind of like a buzz.
@@alessiacasco if the sound is buzzing, it's possible that the plug or the jack is damaged for your computer. I would try the speakers into another computer, or the headphone jack on your cellphone. If it does not buzz, then the computer is the problem. If it still buzzes, you either have a problem with the speakers themselves, or the wiring/plug.
I'm wearing airpods I don't know if it's blown

I feel you....been there myself.
What brand was it

What about phone speakers :( ?
Different type of 'speaker' entirely, and unless there's been physical damage or water, this shouldn't happen. Suggest talking to the phone manufacturer.
Every speaker I own is blown. (there is a song right there waiting to be written),
Can’t wait to hear the song, especially the lyrics.
All 3 of my speakers are broke
yikes my speakers on my NEW PHONE are blown. Only been a week RIP. F.
Ouch!
Hi guys why is monitors to hot at the back ???
What kind of monitor? Computer?
M audio bx5d3 using them in my yamaha psr s770 keyboard professional arranger
@@Lackojunior12 Your monitors have built-in power amplifiers which is why they are heating up. The rear panel is acting to dissipate the heat.
The shining blew my speakers. One more reason to hate that awful movie
Which scene? Or what sound did it?
see my issue is when the volume is at max, it sounds way more quiet than it normally does, so is the speaker blown?
Are you saying the sound gets quieter instead of louder when the volume gets near max?
I don't have a amp in my car it's just my stereo and I love bass and when I listen to some of my songs time passes and then it gets a static sound which really is bothersome but after I get out of my car for a little bit they are back to normal what going on?
It's possible that your head unit is overheating, and we suggest looking into a dedicated subwoofer and amp. However, car stereos are not our specialty.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters that's what I'm afraid of getting due to the possibility of destroying my battery or alternator
Hello, I don't know what happened to my speakers but I got high quality laptop (gaming), I had amazing sound even on 50% of system audio. And with Nahimic 3 which is special software for MSI laptop even better...1 day I played 1 game and heared huge crackling sound and let it go for minute max, and after it ended a game. And I realized my sound is hugely decreased and clear audio too. Now I have all almost on max but sound way worse than before, low sound, now is audio not clear and sounds weird...I don't know what happened. Can it be something with speakers or is it with drivers ? I updated all but still not better. I really want to go to get my audio back but now still sure if it can be speakers damage or something different...Please help me, if you can answer. I can give you more details if you want but I don't know what is the problem and if is way lower sound also problem with damaged speakers. Sound is not even clear as before, as I wrote. Thank you for your time reading this.
I’m not sure if you are using computer speakers with built-in amplifiers, but it sounds like something might have failed with the electronics built into the speakers. I would contact the manufacturer and see if they have any suggestions. And sorry for missing your earlier question about this! Recently discovered that TH-cam does not notify of every comment, but now we manually check daily to try and catch all comments. Thanks for watching, and good luck!
@@AxiomHomeTheaters Thank you so much for your answer. I liked the video and keep up the good work! I am already contacted the shop where I bought it. I will now try last 1 fix they told me to do, and if doesn't help, I am going to get propably new laptop cuz this 1 is damaged. Anyway thanks again, and have a nice day ;).
You're very welcome, and hope this last fix works for you! Thanks for watching, and hope you are having a great weekend.
My speaker just put the volume down by itself it that's normal?? And it sound really low !!!
What kind of speakers and what electronics are you using with them?
My air tube in my subwoofer makes a rattling noise for some reason. Anyone know why? My speaker isn't blown it's perfectly fine, but the tube where the air escapes is rattling.
Check to see if the port tube is loose…you can usually tell without opening the cabinet by trying to rock it with your hand. If it is the adhesive holding it has likely failed over time. I would contact the original manufacturer for advice. Thanks for watching 👍
@@AxiomHomeTheaters I checked, the adhesive is tightly secured. I know someone that knows alot about speakers, they told me my speaker is blown. Thank you for the reply :)
@@markosbellezzi4841 glad you found an answer from someone you can trust. 👍
I upgraded my door speakers to 6.5s skar with a 1500 kicker amp and on some songs low volume or high volume it starts to crackle not sure why its just one of the speakers crackling
Check all your wiring and connections first. It's not a bad idea to occasionally re-seat all connectors to get rid of any minor corrosion.
thanks for explaining what the word "blown" is for 1 minute...
A lightening strike about 300 feet away blew a powered sub I had (along with the garage opener).
That sounds nasty! Unfortunately there isn’t much that can save electrical equipment from a direct (or close) lightning strike.
If speakers are blown! How are we to hear this? I can’t! But it’s funny that this is even real! Should just be writing don’t ya think
Sure would have been nice if this had provided examples for us to hear. Jeez.
So today I was playing music and they sound completely fine. They’re clear and have good bass still but during certain songs with the bass where I usually have it I’ll hear a popping sound. Does anyone know what that is? It sounds like a suction cup being pulled off a glass.
If it sounds mechanical it’s possible that you are “bottoming” the woofer. This means that you are driving the woofer beyond its limits and the voice coil is hitting the back plate of the motor system, creating a mechanical popping sound. If this just started occurring you might want to remove the woofer from one of your speakers and have a close look at the surround and the spyder/damper (attached to the back side of the cone neck) to check for damage. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your speakers.
Axiom Audio thanks i appreciate it
"It will sound distorted, harsh, thin, bright". And you can't give us some examples of how this sounds why? :/
One example would be if you're listening to a stark recording of female voice. If instead of very pure sound it's fuzzy, or you buzzing, when the singer hits certain notes, this would indicate a problem with your speakers. Hope that clarifies things for you, thanks for your question, and for watching.
How about no sound
That's broken for sure, fair point.
so turn my speakers down...ok....got it
If I can get some feed back on an issue that would be amazing. I have 2 - Qsc k12 speakers and they’ve always been amazing. Lately the speakers sound sooo harsh and loud like it’s not healthy sound. Everything is gained correctly, seriously there’s no reason these speakers should be sounding this loud and harsh. It sounds like the gain on my mixer is cranked so it sounds very hot and over gained and harsh and loud. But again everything is properly set etc. Nothing sounds buzzing or anything like that it’s just so harsh sounding. I’ve tried different mixers, different audio interfaces and the speakers are my last option. Do speakers start to produce harsh sound when they’re going bad? I’m going to go buy 2 of the k12.2’s to see if it’s the speakers but since I’ve never heard them sounding “blown” like crackling or buzzing etc I never thought they were bad. If someone can let me know if this is a sign of the speakers going bad that would be super helpful. Again the speakers sound very clear and fine but harsh and loud when I get them to an appropriate level. So now if I wanted to get a crowed going at say a bar, my volume will have to be wayy more lower for it not to kill my ears and then I can’t captivate the energy and vibe of the venue because of the harsh sound. I hope this all made sense and if anyone can help me out that would be awesome. I really hope someone says hey man your speakers are dying go buy new ones and then I will be so happy. I just want this problem fixed because I host two shows a week and I am losing my hearing and I’m livid.
If the sound has changed all of a sudden, it suggests to me that something might have happened to the internal electronics, or the tweeters. I would speak to QSC to see if they have any ideas.
@@AxiomHomeTheaters thank you very much
