Hi all,

Right, I got given a centre speaker as I didn't have one.

And it's been sitting around for months, taking trips in cars and whatever else because I haven't had time to fit it. Today I got the chance.

Now I wired it in and....it didn't work. Not surprising, gave it a little shake and I heard a clonk...hmm...

Unscrewed the back and this is what I found...

Now, I'm handy with a soldering iron...am I right in thinking the black thing with the bit of wire hanging off of it needs soldering onto that broken solder point? (both circled)

If so I'll solder it right now, thanks all.

thats an inductor it helps filter out high frequency and is usually connected in series with the speaker.just solder it back to the place that you have circled.

Thanks

Would that stop the speaker from outputting at all?
 
As its in series yes it will have stopped it from working.

Good skills on the fix, I've got a mission repairing a couple of speakers myself this weekend!

Glad its all working!

I was talking simple electronics, if you break the connection of any component wired in series, the circuit will be open.

I'm not hot at all on speakers, which is why I'm filled with apprehension for this weekends repair attempt. If this part of the circuit is removed, does that mean the speaker is then receiving the entirety of the frequency range? Or that the woofer/tweeter in question won't work? Which c.d in the link applies the speaker above? How can you tell?

your right dude it will not work if their is a break in the circuit since it is in series.i though you're implying that if you put it in series it will not work.
