Hi Fi Tuning fuses

JBL L5 - Frozen Voice Coil (Woofer)
You mentioned, the woofer is, "stuck out". How far out? It’s possible that the voice coil left the magnet gap, got non-linear and caught the gap’s edge. Remove the driver, from the cabinet. Reach around the frame, with a finger and thumb on opposi... 
Satellites have max 20 watts transmit!
