"blown speakers"

When a speaker "blows" what actually happens. I suppose its different between a tweeter and woofer, but is there some mechanical damage or is it electrical. does something break? Besides a woofer cone ripping, what happens to a tweeter if it is still working, but raspy or staticy? I have heard "blown" speakers before, or ones that didnt work at all, but I really dont know what it is that breaks and whether it is fixable or just replace.

Manitunc,

Don't rule out the shipper dropping the package as this happens a lot more than one would think. The package could drop and land flat, so no damage would be evident to the box or the outside of the speaker, but cause internal damage like you're speaking of mainly because of the weight of the contents.

I would think there would be visual damage outside the speaker, or at least markings if someone dropped a speaker that wasn't packaged?
