Why do my tweeters keep blowing?
Tweeters keep blowing when they go below their recommended hertz, if they encounter too much audio clipping or compression, or if there’s not enough headroom on your amplifiers. To prevent tweeters from blowing, use the built-in capacitor or a two-way crossover to protect them from low frequencies.
What does a tweeter diaphragm do?
Since the coil is attached to a diaphragm, the vibratory motion of the voice coil transmits to the diaphragm; the diaphragm in turn vibrates the air, thus creating air motions or audio waves, which is heard as high sounds.
Can speaker voice coils be repaired?
