Blown Speaker?

[quiksilver723]

I was listening to my 6x9's today and the bass on certain CD's seems "thuddy". When some low bass notes happen there's sometimes a thud. but this only happens on certain CD's. could this be a sign of the speakers being blown? I'd appreciate any input you guys got. thanx.

Most likely the 6x9s are bottoming out..either they will sound like crap all the time or simply not make any sound if they are blown.

bottoming out, you mean they're trying to play a note but can't? if so then how do you fix something like that? I was hearing something about "bass blockers" could that help me? if not do I need another set of speakers? write back anything you guys think, any advice right now is good advice. thanx.

Bass blockers should help the problem a bit. You can also just use micro caps as they will have the same effect. If I recall- about 600mFarad will produce a cuttoff point arround 100Hz. That should be all you need to keep your 6x9's playing more midbass than actual bass.

take it easy,
