What if I screwed up a speaker when I connect the amp? What do I do? I find out the bigger speaker ( mostly two speakers on the bookstxxx speaker, small for high and big for bass) of my AWIA SC-51 didnt respone. Cuz my carefulless.
Addiction how to test the DC offset if I only have two 51ohm resistor?

btw I used two 51ohm got a 15.xx mV DC offset.

So how do you know you have 15.xx mV DC offset?
I put the mutimeter's two point one on each terminal( the ground and the signal) + two 51 ohm resister parallel to it.
Check the resistance of a speaker with multimeter. If it shows infinity or short, it pretty much means you screwed up the speaker.
Depends on a speaker, some are more or less easier to fix, but sometimes it's just not worth it.

the left one is 7.8-7.9Ohm, but the right screwed up one only have 1.2Ohm. Also I find out the screwed up one dont bounce like the normal when I push the speaker thing down.
Do you think I can order a set of same size new speaker and install it to the housing?

When you mean sometime, are there some pros, and cons?
Awia SC-51 it is pretty old , the speaker mode code is
82-994-601-01
8Ohm NOM. 10W
MAX. 35W

S.C always use an old speaker to test any new amp, or amp modification. Then if you value your loudspeakers, use some sort of speaker protection at least for the first few weeks.

Hey Nuuk, an old speaker was what he used.😀
Oh... 1.2 Ohms! Seams like an Apogee.😱

S.C., forget those speakers, they're too crappy, they don't worth repairing.
Buy a new pair of speakers, there are some cheap models out there that are not bad at all.

Hi Carlos. I meant use something really awful like B&W 600 series. 😉

Thx for the advise...... bad luck anyway......... B&W 600??? any link for me to se how "cheap" they are
how about buying a smilar drive to put on the empty hole? Will it sound good and work? Like ....http://retro.co.za/audio/system.html

Hi S.C. - I was just having a joke with Carlos who uses those speakers. 😉
You can't just put any old driver in the hole to replace a damage unit. The two drivers (for each channel) need to be an exact match.
