when you press the speaker in by hand with the stereo off, do you hear a funny sound? if there is a whole on the back of the speaker in the middle of the magnet, press the speaker in by hand and smell in that whole, if it is blown, you will be able to smell that it is burned and it is likely blown, especially if it's broken. There could be numerous other reasons why it's not working too. Do you have a one or 2 channel amp, how are they hooked up... sometimes speakers just blow, not explaination needed

i would all but guarantee that it's blown. What happens when you press it in like that and it plays is, the voice coil is making contact again like it was in one piece like it should be. Your voice coil is the thing that blows when the speaker is blown, and when it's blown, it's in two pieces. You press it together, and it will work for a second. Did you expect them to blow at the same time? Why are you so suprised that it happened one at a time? If you are bumping just one speaker now with the same hook up, you have to be careful that you dont' have an impedence mismatch cause that could blow the other one. Go to where you bought it to get it checked, or a mom and pop stereo shop that sells eclipse, they'll be the most help

they hit hard as fuck, don't get me wrong, but they don't hit the high, nor the low's as well as the 2 12" solo barics i used to have. They are wired correctly, 2 ohm series-parallel into a 2 ohm load with more than enough power to push at least another 10 on top of those, the speakers just suck
