Question about Kenwood SW36HT Subwoofer

Speaker blown? How do I open it up to see? And how do I fix it?

Sounds like something might be blown, there is a very intense vibration and rumbling/crackling noise when bass is on. How do I take the covering from off of the subwoofer (without cutting it off) to see the speaker? Or is it some other problem im unaware of?

Try without having the input plugged on the speaker ... to determine if the noise is coming from cable or receiver

What is a sound bar woofer and function

A woofer is a device that producers low frequency bass sounds. Often in a form of Sub Woofer. Bass sounds are not directional. So once set up it will give the rumble and vibration needed to the sound system.

Hotpoint Aquarius dishwasher making awful rumble/crackle noise

Have you cleaned the traps and run some vinegar through? They build up dirt from kitchen debris over time which causes the pump and spray rails to pick up sludge. You need to clean them at least every 6 months. Check farther on line for cleaning solutions to clean and maintain dishwashers. I have been hearing clr can be used but can't confirm this.

My bass makes a crackling noise it never used to have this problem, i put this little faggy magnet near it and i think its the cause

Sounds like you turned your system up beyond it's capabilities... aka blown woofer. Buy a new sound system from www.pcrepairshop.org and that crackling noise will be gone for good, guaranteed!

My Fender Rumble 25 makes a terrible crackling sound when the volume is turned up over the 4 or 5 mark. I don't think the speaker is blown as the same sound comes via the headphone socket.

Here is the schematic:http://www.fender.com/support/amp_schematics/pdfs/Rumble_Bass_Schematic_-B21.pdf Check the tubes to see if one is loose in its socket. Do not attempt to repair this yourself unless you have amplifier repair experience as it is easy to get a bad or life threatening shock without the correct test gear and troubleshooting procedures.I hope this helps.

I have a crackling speaker on the left port of the bass box

The crackling sound on the left port of the bass box, indicates vibrating foreign matters inside it. Just open the box and clear it up. Put the sounds on. Listen if the crackling sound is audible. If the result is ok, then, close the box, and everything is alright..
However, if the result is otherwise, then, it is due to a defective speaker that needs to be replaced.

I have a rumble 100 bass amp which used to work fine until now! I've had it about 2 months and have only played it about a dozen times. Today, while practicing with a new band, 90% of volume got lost. Now...

It unfortunately sounds like a blown speaker. Try getting at the speaker and gently moving the cone with your fingers. If you feel a rubbing sensation you will most likely have to consider a new speaker. Make sure you get one with the same impedance (ohms) and the same or better power handling.

Crackling Sound From Subwoofer

Check any wiring coming or going to the subwoofer. It sounds like it could be a loose connection. Is there a LFE or bass boost knob on your subwoofer? Does turning that up/down cause the crackling (if it exists). If so, you could use some tuner cleaner to clean the contacts on the potentiometer knob.

If the crackling is on the subwoofer only, it might be damaged from bottoming out. See if you can remove the baffle or grille covering the woofer and inspect for visual problems. You can also try to lighly push in and out on the subwoofer to hear if it makes any scraping sounds. If so, it is definitely damaged and the driver will have to be replaced.
