Get the right subwoofer repair kit
Generally, when you blow a subwoofer, you will need to replace the entire speaker that you have just blown. This is because when you send far too much power through the speaker—more than it was designed to handle—the cone can burst, which typically knocks it loose from its encasing. This requires that you first remove the grill over the speaker housing, and then carefully pull the cone out of the speaker cavity and detach the speaker wiring.

Of course, for many this can read far easier than it actually is to do, but rest assured, there is not that much technical prowess required when you go about repairing a blow subwoofer. Essentially you are just removing the grill to access the speaker, pulling the speaker out of the cavity in which it sits, and then unwiring and rewiring the new speaker, and placing the grill on again. Your best bet at doing this successfully is by actually buying a subwoofer repair kit that can save you hours of time and money—and allow you fix your subwoofer in just mere minutes.
