if your car has a factory amp you might have to mess around with the factory remote wire(this is what tells the amp to turn on) good luck
Wattage is the power applied to a speaker. More power usually means more volume. The sound pressure that a speaker will produce will be defined by the power applied, the resistance or impedance of the speaker (a lower impedance speaker will be louder) and the sensitivity of the speaker as a whole (the efficiency to turn the power into sound).
A microphone connected to an amplifier and speaker(s).
The sound quality isn't determined by the amount of power it can handle, in this case, 400 watts. What determines the sound quality of the speaker is the design of the speaker itself.
Check your speaker wire, make sure that it is connected to the radio and the speaker.
speaker is an output device. It is said as an output device because, most of the speakers are used to hear audio/sounds. The inputs to hear sound from a speaker can be > power/electricity > a device to play the sound (that may be a mic, vcd, dvd, mp3 player or even your computer)
Turn the power off, disconnect the speaker wire from both front speakers, connect the right speaker wire to the left speaker, at this time the original left speaker wire should be laying in the floor not connected to anything, be sure not let the paired speaker wires TOUCH each other. Turn the power back on and turn up the volume to normal level. If you hear sound from the Left speaker, one would tend to think the Right speaker might be bad. If you Don't hear any sound, the amplifier or speaker wire might be bad or a poor connection. IF there is a Balance control, be sure it is in the middle and not turned all the way to the left, which would cause the front right speaker not to have any sound.
The vibrations from the speaker that the instruments are connected to.
No, the speaker has a negative and positive port, they both need to be plugged into for it to work. if they aren't, then the speaker will not create sound
dead connection in the speaker leads if you have a dmm (multimeter) test the wires to see if any signal is sent
In laymen 's terms, yes. But the "Watts" of a speaker is not what the total power of the speaker is. The are usually two different ratings for speakers to determine the total power. One is "RMS", which means root-means square. And the terms "peak or continuose power". A speaker can be 400 Watts, 360 RMS, 390 continuous power. That means it will take an amp at least 400 Watts to drive the speaker properly. And the speaker will perform at 360 Watts RMS, and peak out at 380 Watts continuous power. Remember, u can't blow a speaker from overpowering it. Only from under power. The speaker will distort and sound horrible from overpowering, but it will not blow.
maybe you have not install a sound card in your system. the device that attaches to the PCI slot on a motherboard for the computer to input, process, and for you to hear a sound from your speaker.
From what i have been learnt, the magnet is connected to the diaphragm (the material which covers it) of the speaker and as electric current is passed in this causes the magnet to 'Push' and 'Pull' on the diaphragm making this move resulting in sound waves being produced, these sound waves then enter your ear making you hear the noise. So the magnet helps produce the sound you hear from a speaker.
