Okay, I have no clue whats wrong. My passenger side 6.5" MOMO MM6 midbass does not play anything. UNLESS however if I push it in just the slightest bit or push it out from the backside, the speaker plays and sounds like it normally should... but as soon as i release it = nothing.. What could it be? Something with the voice coil? a lead wire?? I have no clue.

Yup- it sounds like the voice coil has a small break in it that's probably closed when you push on the cone. It's time for replacement.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Damn, thats what i was thinkin too... just had my fingers crossed hoping it was something else.. A replacement midbass is $100 from Polk! But I loved how they sounded... and looked... Im positive that the voice coil is loveed from when my neighbor got in my car and accidentally kicked the ---- out of the speaker with his boots.

Put your DMM on the terminals...measurement in ohms...see what you get. try it with the speaker sitting on the magnet, then turn it over, then try it on it's side.....

That will tell you alot. But sad to say....it souinds toasted  posted_image
