Do speakers just stop working?

i have an in home system and i hooked a box up to the tv i the front room through a stereo and i played fine. then i hooked it back up to the system in my room and its not making any sound at all. i hook a different speaker up to the same connection and it played. i am pissed.....i dont have anything to replace it and i dont want to buy anymore.

Even though this thread has nothing to so with car audio it is audio so I guess i'll try and answer your ?. Yes a speaker can just quit working, but usually not without being helped in someway such as overpowering it, etc etc. Is it possible that the reciever you had it hooked to before it quit working could have overpowered it? If so then that would be my guess if you played it loud. Otherwise im stumped unless the tensil leads are broke somewhere and that can be caused by alot of things.

they can stop working if you give them a burp of too much power and you blow them completely, but otherwise the SQ will wear over a long period of time, along with the materials.
