Best Answer

There are only two ways a speaker can blow.

THERMAL DAMAGE - a few examples:

- Too much power applied long term.

- amplifier ran into clipping (distortion, amplifier trying to produce more power than it can)

- problematic amplifier producing DC voltage at it outputs

MECHANICAL DAMAGE - a few examples:

- too much peak power - driver over excursion (the coil can hit the back magnet structure and smash itself or tear the cone or surround)

- no high pass frequency - driver over excursion
