Unregistered guest | Hi All, I am hoping somone has a clue as to what I need to do after my car speakers stopped working today. The stereo still looks like it is working but no sound is coming out. This occured after I started smelling a pretty harsh burning smell. I couldn't pin point the exact spot of the smell. Would the problem be the speaker it's self or just a wire or something? Ay help would be greatly appreciated. |

LoriH Unregistered guest | OK- i'll check to see if the speakers will move but if the coli is burned does that mean I have to get new speakers or just a new Coli? What does "clipped my speakers to death mean?" Clearly I don't really know ,much about this stuff! Thanks for the info guys! |

lorih Unregistered guest | The smell came from the rear speakers. |

The cost to rebuild a driver most times though, is prohibitive unless you spent $500+ on each speaker. |
