I get no sound from one of my Bose 151 outdoor speakers. I was hoping it might be as simple as a blown fuse, but I can't find a fuse inside. The speaker cone appears to be in perfect condition, but no sound is being produced. Yes, I hooked up the other speaker to the same channel, and the other speaker works find. Many thanks.
Unfortunately many speakers do not have fuses. Most likely the voice coil has opened up inside the speaker itself. You can either get a replacement driver (speaker) or re-cone the one you have. In any case, the driver needs to be replaced.
You can verify this if you use an ohmmeter. With an 8 ohm impedence speaker, the reading should be about 6 ohms. If you read a higher number or infinity, the coil is bad.

They're 4-ohm speakers. My multimeter reads infinity on the bad
speaker, and about 1 ohm on the good one. I don't know anything about
reconing, so I will look for a replacement driver, as you suggested, or
more likely, just replace the speakers altogether. Just wanted to make
sure there wasn't a simple solution that I was overlooking, before I
discard these.
Thanks so much.
how can I get a toy out of my bose 701 speaker?
