My speaker won't work right anymore, and I'm trying to diagnose what's going on. The volume is too quiet, distorted, crackling, or just doesn't work at all. I've already attempted the simple stuff—checking power, cables, and connections—and nothing works. I also used it with other devices to try and eliminate a source problem, but it doesn't work there either.
It might be a blown speaker, bad wiring, or a problem with the internal amp. I haven't taken it apart yet because I don't know what to check for or if I can fix it myself. Might dust accumulation, humidity, or overheating be the culprit? Can it be reset or tested for certain components?
If anyone has any experience repairing speakers, I'd be really grateful for some advice. Do I try a DIY fix, or is it worth taking it to a professional? Any tips or troubleshooting advice would be really welcome
