Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / July 20066.5" Coaxial Repair
Has anyone had any success repairing a 6.5" coaxial speaker? I have pair of Polk 6.5" coaxial speakers - the woofer is out on one side. I can still hear the tweeter, though. I can't see anything wrong with the speaker itself. The pair are in remarkable condition, and the cone and surround are perfect. I can't see any broken leads anywhere, either. Does the plastic rim of the tweeter come off, and does it reveal anything I might be able to fix? Or is the voice coil gone on the woofer itself? Are these things worth trying to fix? I hate to just dump them. Thanks! > Or is the voice coil gone on the woofer itself? If you have a multimeter, you can check the resistance of the voice coil... if it reads open or shorted (or just about anything outside the range of 2 to 10 ohms, after allowing it a few second for the meter voltage to charge the tweeter's crossover cap), then it's probably the voice coil, although there is a chance it's just one of the little Litz wires that runs from the terminal to the cone. If you can hear a scratching sound when manually moving the cone up and down, the voice coil and/or suspension are definitely fried. > Are these things worth trying to fix? If it's just a loose/broken Litz, a solder touch-up at the right spot may do the trick... if the coil is toast, forget it; the only way to fix a blown voice coil is with a recone, and you don't find recone kits for many coaxial car speakers. > I hate to just dump them. You could always rip the tweeters out and use them for spares... Thanks, Matt. I checked the continuity on every pair of leads I can see or access, and no shorts were found. I'm at a loss here. Anyone want a pair of USED 6.5" speakers?
