How could this happen??

Well...my girlfriend was toying with the center console while the car was shut off... and obviously she mistakenly had the volume **** turned all the way up. When I got back into the car and started the car up, I almost lost my ears. And later yesterday, I found out both speakers in the front and the rear right speakr have been blown....

Well...now I'm in search of used stock speakers.
Anybody has extra speakers?

- passenger's side speaker (next to passenger's right leg)
- Right speaker in the rear.

(found a speaker for driver's side on e-bay for 20 bucks...thank God)

rears I would need to yank...after the weekend because of the nor-cal meet....

are they all 51.4 all around. if so PM me i got some for sale. they came out of my first gen GS

 

Will they have the same enclosure as the ones from my SC?
And btw, mine is a nakamichi...

 

Chrono, before you go out and replace the spkrs, do you have the Lexus cellular? Make sure she didn't turn it on, it will make only one spkr operate.

 

I already have taken out the entire car-phone unit.
What I mean by blown speaker is...that the speakers are rattling at strong bass and also hissing...
The speakers are probably ripped...

 

while were on the topic, what does it mean when your speakers pop with heavy bass hits and the volume is up?

 

It means your speakers are blown

Same thing happened to me.

The best thing to do is get replacements but not Nak. With any luck used speakers will pop again because they are so old.

 

mine are not nak but they are still very good in mint conidtion let me know if you want them they honestly sound great.

 

It means they're damaged, i.e. blown. Not unusual in a system that's overpowered (which is more desirable than underpowered, you just have to be careful with the volume).

Generally speaking, you will get warning signs of speaker damage. One is distortion. If the sound gets distorted at a certain volume, that's too high for the speakers, so turn it down or get better speakers.

In the case of our cars, the older ones will have age issues even if they were never abused. Heat and humidity over time will destroy speakers, both the rubber ring around the cone, and the cone itself if they are paper.

So if you get replacements, consider investing in something made with a poly or metal alloy cone. They're not that expensive for the modest-range ones. I tend to favor Infinity for car interior applications, at least in the tweeter and midrange.

i replaced my passenger nak speaker with a pioneer speaker from fleabay about a year ago. both of my front speakers blew out last week and i just popped in some infinity kappa 42.7i's for less than the price i paid for ONE used stock speaker. don't waste your money on that pos.

 

I'd recommend getting some aftermarket speakers rather than stock...I mean if you think about it those speakers were designed a looong time ago. There's been some technological advancements in that time with speakers

my 2 cents~

 

Its not the speakers when you hear the pop, its the sub. I thought it was my speakers, and i checked, well they were blown, so i replaced them with som MB's. I tried to play the music again and i still hear the pop when i turn up my bass. I checked my sub, and the diaphram is in seamingly perfect condtion, im figuring the voice coil is out.

 

Get aftermarket 4" speakers for the doors and rear deck. Get ones with high sensitivity (>91) or else youre volume will be greatly reduced. The Boston series speakers work well. I got the 4" components and the 4" coaxials. They sound great with my Nak system.

If you don't want to spend $$, still just get cheap aftermarket ones (Kenwood, Pioneer, etc). The paper cones and foam surrounds used in the pioneer and nak system speakers are too old and weak now.
