Speaker Blowouts - Home Theater Subwoofers

That was cool

[@JendaLinda]

Those sound bar drivers look just like regular old speakers used in CRT TVs.

[@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322]

More like a flatscreen speaker. Crts used bigger and better drivers than those

[@RedNoise-hz5nh]

my crt tvs have more or less those same drivers

[@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322]

@@RedNoise-hz5nh does yours have subwoofers?

[@RedNoise-hz5nh]

@@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322 nah just little ones

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

I was thinking about this for a bit - Where did I see these drivers before... flat screens use longer versions the cheap tvs have them free air and frames made of plastic, some nicer tvs have something like it in a nice compact enclosure, CRT defiantly would have some especially the compact ones But this driver bugged me and it came to me -- its the exact driver build of them plastic 90s budget PC speakers! old stock they are using up? haha or maybe a new version of it that takes decent power

[@wdbaudio]

The JVC sub at 0:48 was the exact same model that Sam/Barevids spend many videos fucking around with. Brings back a lot of memories of the early days of youtube!

[@speakerpat]

It really does have history haha!

For a moment I though my monitor messed up at that intro. 😂

[@Nathan_Guntzelman68]

Right! Thought my Mitsubishi DLP shit the bed for a minute. Quickly realized it’s rear projection. Not LCD😂💀

[@SoutheastWarrenEAS]

2:20 I had that same sub, I blew it up not realizing the actual shitty speaker was on the inside 💀💀

[@kailumgg7736]

They are pretty good subwoofers I have one it absolutely thumps in my 2.1 system and it sounds very good and can't complain coming from Panasonic

[@wrighrw2]

Panasonic are actually very good and been making high end audio equipment for decades under the Technics brand not surprised the Panasonic driver was the best out of the bunch@@kailumgg7736

[@FATTYBONGRIPS]

Eas community on garrett claridge vids? not what i expected

[@alexanderangelkov6338]

Didnt look shitty at all. Maybe ur amp was

[@SoutheastWarrenEAS]

@@alexanderangelkov6338 bru😂😂😂 Its shitty because of the 10 inch passive radiator, which makes you think its a big sub when in reality it has a 5 inch tiny ass sub behind it. And, if my amp was shitty, it wouldn’t have been able to blow it

[@jooch_exe]

29:38 Misty be like: Jup, just another speaker blowout day. All normal.

[@Stuntmannetje]

Those Sony sub's did have a decent amount of excursion :).And than that Panasonic what a impresive little bugger.

[@delpsdayoff3372]

Man that little sub with the passive was super impressive

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

I kept thinking that too, but i had to toss like 500 watts of super clean power into it to make it shine, it has worse efficiency of anything ive seen

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

@@GarretClaridgeMeerkatYeah I had that exact same one. I had the same reaction. Useless without a ton of power, which I didn’t have. I thought it would sound terrible to be honest. I prefer the Bose acoustimass to this.

[@delpsdayoff3372]

@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat ahhhh yeah it's probably 10 ohms or something crazy.. that's how they make the 250 watt claim... mmm garbage

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

@@delpsdayoff3372 I still have the driver from mine. It’s no less efficient than your normal 6.5 inch sub driver. I prefer it over the Bose drivers, and most other 6.5 inch HTIB sub drivers, but the passive radiator idea wasn’t well implemented. It seemed to be a strange weight, probably to tune it lower in a small box. It took all the power the driver had to even start to move the passive radiator. I bet the home theater in a box amplifier unit it came with had super powerful amp, loads of DSP, or both, to drive that sub.

[@jaredsilva003]

I'm your follower and have been watching your videos since 2011. What an achievement with your 100k subscribers, you're incredible, Garret.

[@pitviper1204]

I did not realize the size of your bookshelf speaker collection XD

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

Ill prob keep the higher end sony system but the rest im going to pop 😋

[@Electronichub_05]

​@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat please try hooking all up at once, that would sound so crappy probably xD

[@DiamondCat_Audio]

Yeah I saw the Great Wall of Garrett (the bookshelf speakers) and thought "Yeah, he's definitely making a video where some of those are gonna meet their maker." 😂 Also, did you ever blow up that Bose Acoustimass sub or did something happen? Like decided to keep it, someone else needed it/decided to pass it on to someone who needs it, deleted/corrupted footage, etc...? Just was curious because it has been a good while since you made the post about it.

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

@@DiamondCat_Audio im just super behind on videos, been taking inventory of what i have for video topics and found more parts from another set that actually, someone took a sub apart but i got the drivers and back plate of the same cabinet i had

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

@@ChickenStrangerz001 hmm they are to the very right of the pile single woofer lots of tweeters, ive got one set that has the matching head unit or whatever you call that mess and a second set of speakers from a sony like it, the speakers are around the same build so it would be cool to wire two pairs up on it

[@godisgoodatht]

That’s a cool repurposing idea for a cat bed!

[@Shukkz]

29:23 we have the whole speaker system sub and player downstairs actively being used

[@puciohenzap891]

Lol, the Peavey amp is the true unsung hero here - took 2x 1.5 ohm subs like a champ. I wonder what the coil resistance was on them.

[@GarretClaridgeMeerkat]

Hmm maybe thats why the amp fan was singing away aahahaha -- I should have put a meter on all of them

[@fishingboss503]

​@@GarretClaridgeMeerkatwhat is age wattage of the sony 6.5 inch, the one with white area in its cone at 16:00, i have this extact subwoofer from the sony home surround system but the dvd spoiled, so i dont know the wattage of the sub.

[@fishingboss503]

​@@GarretClaridgeMeerkati am trying to buy a amp for it, but without the wattage of it, i can't buy one

[@BTD7REAL]

that intro is sweet

[@branhicks]

I have that exact Samsung sound bar in my bathroom. It kind of sucks. Mostly that it's programmed to turn off after 23 hours so when you want to use it it's always off 🤷

[@seanmadigan5505]

I had one of those Panasonic’s and it was impossible to kill until I gave it 800 watts for like 10 minutes

[@ThomasthetankengineE2]

Resistor. That's the reason

[@Nathan_Guntzelman68]

I have several of those little Logitech Bluetooth Adapters. They do great for the price. Glad to see the infamous Garret notification pop up. Nothing more entertaining than a Garret Video.

[@Snooty1]

I remember the first video I’ve ever watched of this guy was him blowing some pink foamed surround speakers, Cerwin Vega I believe… Got me plugging in speakers into walls and taking apart devices. Making me interested in electronics and ultimately convincing me to pursue industrial automation (Programming and repairing conveyers and robotic arms n such). What a ride… thanks bro!

[@speakersystemsnstuff47]

The unknown speaker driver I've seen before in a Phillips set I just can't remember the model

[@tobitechboy1461]

Haha nooo way! We used to have that exact Samsung soundbar with that Subwoofer! And the purple connector!

[@JorgenFitnesz]

I always enjoy your speaker blowouts

[@MrBloom2037]

beautiful ragdoll kitty cat! worth subscribing definitely because you went out of your way to destroy some old speakers sad yet also impressed with that second to last one I personally wouldn't have blown it up it look like it was well put together and the actual cone was actually well made and not with some tiny ass magnet and over amplification.

[@lorennicholls5901]

Made my day even better watching a video from Garrett!

[@midnightdrives5112]

Those Samsung oval speakers take forever to break in. I got one for my mom, and decided to work the speakers in and it took around 3 months.

[@MoolsDogTwoOfficial]

My man's still at it after 10+ years.

[@TheJVCguy]

holy crap you have a tonn of speakrs back there LMAO, those sonys with the golden cones will be fun to blow, they can take alot of abuse haha

[@MikeleKonstantyFiedorowiczIV]

I don't understand, if the speaker coil benefits from ventilation, which helps it not heat up as much, why do manufacturers enclose it instead of using some material that only blocks dust or a small metal grill?

[@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322]

Do you mean why they put it in a box? The box is literally the most important thing ever when it comes to speakers

[@MikeleKonstantyFiedorowiczIV]

Not the casing, I mean the speaker grille, the one that children always click on and it's concave. Since it cools the coil, it should be made of a solid but breathable, lightweight material."@@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322

[@tigerboost1518]

I opened the video, I was shocked, I thought I opened something wrong

[@mathewa.c.d.e2580]

Hey What sony stereo is that on the top, (MHC-EC55) or (MHC-EC77)?????

[@ATOMSHAMRADIO]

That last speaker was crazy🔥

[@skeletanger]

What is a garrett claridge video without spilling coffee

[@Skarfar90]

Sony woofers has a reputation of lighting on fire when blowing them. Also, I have a feeling that the passive radiator would work well in conjunction with an 8" driver

[@sunnyskiesblue]

That sony with the silver ring was impressive. Long excursion.

[@maksmarkovic]

cool thanks for the entertainment you are my favourite KZbiner keep up the videos

[@user-ec9yp4hd3b]

Always pleasant to look at this violent performance again whereas many can consider you to be a fool. A guy who studies English at Russian university approves. To my mind, it's a fascinating present on Motherland defender's day as well

[@kailumgg7736]

Thoes panasonic Kelton subwoofers are very impressive I use one in my 2.1 system and they just rock love it

[@KeremTekinoglu-de8ze]

Kelton good ?

[@kailumgg7736]

@KeremTekinoglu-de8ze yes it is a good subwoofer with a ok frequency response and it has a lot of punch to it

[@josephfrye7342]

God damn that intro man! Long time no see btw

[@SongLyricsHD]

3:08 yeah I have that exact same Bluetooth receiver. decent little unit. I have it hooked up to my outdoor sound system and the range is pretty good for the price. 26:00 damn that was impressive

[@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322]

0:58 thats a GGEC driver. They made drivers for jbl and panasonic tvs. So thats most likely a panasonic subwoofer it came out of You can see the other panasonic had similar model numbers

[@csoky2286]

Finally new video!!!

[@termtheman]

20:50 is my subwoofer, i thought it WAS a 10" but honestly it sounds and shakes the house like a 10", but thank you for doing a teardown! :D

[@fishingboss503]

Anyone knows what is the wattage of the 6.5inch sony subwoofer with part of the cone is white it is a little higher than the other one at 16:00

[@kumathederg]

yooo the Hannah Montana guitar

[@stawjessica]

Is no one gonna talk about the cute cats lol poor kitty got scared

[@incubusfamiliar]

You know what I just had a realization I think I knew since a kid but haven't started using it until a couple years back, (UPC codes)! literally if you blow something up and have ideas to do experiments with eBay works alongside synonymous UPC codes! the possibilities are endless🙃👍

[@fre_]

lmao I used to have that exact Samsung sub with the accompanying 5.1 system hooked to my PC. The sub is surprisingly decent for what it's worth, though the satellites leave something to be desired. Pretty annoying that you can't actually use it as a true surround system for that particular use case since it doesn't even have dedicated inputs for each channel, but that's to be expected from a consumer gear. Eventually got a (rather filthy but in full working order) set of H/K SoundSticks and it blows the Samsung system out of the water despite only being a 2.1. Good times!

[@akira808state4]

The Peavey CS-800 would make quick work on those speakers.

[@dyff01ct4kit8]

Will all the speakers in the background be in the next video?

Omg cool garret keep up the good work

[@parkerjoshlin5944]

LMFAO THat hit the guitar made the cabnit of the subwoofer dismantle itself like a piece of lego😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 timestamp IS 14:06

[@MIW_Renegade]

My last Panasonic sub changed my opinion on them, I had a Panasonic TV and it was good, and then so was that sub, it took its rated power and then some, without blowing, just like the one in the video, I still got the drivers around, because they come in handy for testing amplifiers

[@tehKJM]

HAHA he got the 60hz donut

[@tehKJM]

(The Sony subs) used to use those things for portable speakers. Loudest 60hz from a tiny small box I’ve ever heard. But anything below and even above was just GONE lol. Driver is really stiff, resonates perfectly with that 50hz ish port tuning and box design moving extreme air at 60hz.

[@k-sell4065]

Aww yeah the king is back 😂😂

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

Question: Who do you think makes the best DJ/Live audio line array sound systems (amps and speakers)? I’m thinking QSC might be the best but im not too sure.

[@gavincurtis]

Best line array is the CBT-36. Resolution of sound is that of planar headphones at live performance sound levels. I have that 12kW system on my channel if you want to see. No other speaker can compare for the price.

[@puciohenzap891]

I'd say probably some more specialized brands like Funktion One, VOID, Turbosound or D&B Audiotechnik? JBL(together with Crown, having the same parent company) should be close to the top as well.

[@EBTheOriginalMaster]

I spilled my coffee. Lmao

[@antonchigurh6590]

[@smashthings1]

Woo, more speaker blow outs (and cats). 17:43 speaker flamethrower!

[@RockCity1111]

Glad your still kicking!!

[@crazychicken2005]

I remember seeing these subs whenever I went to a thrift store around 2017-2019, then after 2020 I just stopped seeing them, along with most other speakers. I do sometimes wonder where all the speakers I used to find at thrift stores went.

[@superdog1964]

Wow, first time viewer here and I have to know something? When you are mad at your girlfriend/boyfriend etc how long do they suffer? (or perhaps maybe enjoy?) I hope you don't stretch out the ordeal to long? Then again, pain is measured in different ways by different people. I'm sure your "studio" is sound proofed so the neighbors stay happy? The KGB would also like some of your technique? Every one of your torture applications leads to pain without the victim becoming unconscious, thereby allowing them to "enjoy" your lovely treatments much longer. Very disturbing but also very interesting videos. It does go to show the level of craftsmanship and durability some OEM's go to (Or not?) when constructing their speakers and cabinets. It is also quite apparent that you enjoy what you doing as much as we enjoy watching!

Fun but messy idea- do this with a speaker submerged in some non conductive liquid like olive oil or something outside. Should make it take longer to overheat, and make a big smoke show
