    can speakers get damaged in a car wreck?
    hi guys, havnt been on here in a long while my proir posts were about my 1984 caddy elderado. well i was prob 2 days away from getting it ready and was rear ended. the rear end was around 35-40 mph. while i was at a dead stop at a stop light. so after months or rehab and my car was written off i started to remove all my stuff. my door comp,speakers head unit etc i know is fine. my sub box was in the trunk. wasnt hooked up etc was in there and braced etc so it wouldnt move. oddly enough the box had no damage etc. ??????????/ of the day is poss damage to the speakers? as in motor-coils etc? they are a pair of 1252w infinites. and if so what are the tell tale signs of damage? well besides the normal blown speaker sounds etc. thanx these forums are great. p.s. and just to wiz off all my freinds who hated my 1984 eldo i already bought an 1983 and started the sickness over again lol.

    Look for physical alingment between the marnet assembly and the frame. If it looks aligned, check each voice coil resistance with a meter. If it reads 3-6 ohms, connect it to an amplifier and test it. If it sounds OK it probably is.
