What are speaker spiders made of?

Raw Materials

The cone, surround, and spider are made of

treated paper coated with an adhesive glue

. The voice coil consists of a plastic bobbin with fine gauge insulated copper wire wound around it.

What is a speaker cone?

The loudspeaker cone or speaker diaphragm is

the main active area of the loudspeaker

. When activated by the coil, it pushes the air backwards and forwards to create the sound waves.

How do you fix a squashed tweeter?

How do you tell if a tweeter is damaged?

Basically,

play that tone at low volume and put your head holes right near the tweeter. If it is not making any sound, it is blown

. If it does make sound, it might be partially damaged or work fine. If it is loud and clear, sounds like your other speakers then you are OK.

Do tweeters wear out?

Short answer, yes.

Speakers do wear out over an extended period of usage

. Speaker parts such as the surround, cone, capacitor in the crossover, and ferrofluid in some tweeters degrade over time, and that reduces the overall sound quality of the speakers.

Can you fix a blown subwoofer?

To fix your blown you'll need to

take it out of your car, fix or replace any damaged parts, and glue/wire it back together

. This process can range from easy to very difficult, depending on the problem.

What is a subwoofer spider?

Spider. The Spider

fits around the speaker voice coil and is attached to the speaker basket

. It is one of the components (along with the cone) that help to keep the voice coil centered in the magnetic gap and affects excursion (movement).

Does pushed in tweeter affect sound?

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

.

What does the magnet do in a speaker?

To make the cone (or panel) of the speaker move, magnets are used to

create an opposing magnetic field which creates vibrations

. These vibrations are the sound we hear. Speakers often contain large magnets inside of them, as a larger opposing magnetic field creates more vibrations.

How is a speaker spider made?


A moving coil transducer is produced by wrapping an electrical conductor around a thread and weaving the wrapped thread at a selected locating in a cloth with an overshot region

. The cloth is formed into a spider with a region of the cloth adjacent the overshot region as a perimeter of the spider.

How do you fix the diaphragm on a speaker?

What is the dust cap on a speaker?

The dust cap (also known as dust dome, or dome) is

a gently curved dome mounted either in concave or convex orientation over the central hole of most loudspeaker diaphragms

. It protects the inner mechanics (such as the pole pieces and the voice coil) from small particles (which can cause rubs) and other contamination.

Why is a speaker shaped like a cone?

The purpose of the cone/surround assembly is

to accurately reproduce the voice coil signal waveform

. Inaccurate reproduction of the voice coil signal results in acoustical distortion.

Can you make cheap speakers sound good?


A pair of cheap speakers, placed correctly, will actually give more music enjoyment than expensive speakers placed incorrectly

.

Does a dented dome tweeter matter?


A dented tweeter can be repaired but its performance will be permanently compromised

. It's usually possible to suck dents back out (of which more later), but the bottom line is that once dented, the tweeter will be damaged and never perform exactly as intended.

How do you test a tweeter?

How do you fix a crushed speaker dome?

What does a blown tweeter sound like?


Rattling and Popping Sounds

Your speakers are likely blown if the only sound coming from your woofers is a rattling sound. Popping is another sound to keep an ear out for. Your tweeters are most likely damaged if you hear popping sounds emanating from your speakers.

Why do my tweeters sound distorted?


If you play a receiver at a volume that is higher than the power it can provide the distortion caused by this can damage tweeters

. If you have too much power you are more likely to damage woofers. The crossover set at 100 hz removes bass below 100hz from the speakers and lessens the amount of power needed.

Do tweeters vibrate?

Yes, but so fast you can't see it.

It has to vibrate to make sound
