Topic: Anyone here know how to fix an aftermarket stereo system?

The subwoofers have all burnt out and I'd rather not have to pay any more money into this monetary sinkhole by taking it to a mechanic.

well, if they're just bad subwoofers then you can simply unhook them, or if the stereo has enough features you can turn the input to zero or whatever. if you've got an actual subwoofer then you probably have a decent set of mids which can pick up the lows and you'll have a fine sounding system once you adjust it. you'll just go without the big thumps until you replace the subs.
now, it's possible, since you're to4str and a chav, that you have mistaken subwoofer as a general term meaning "any car sterio speaker," in which case you have fully blown all your speakers. your only hope is to stab them with a screw driver until they quit buzzing.

Not at all. I'd have it at above-average volume levels, but not full blast. These speakers shouldn't burn out like this.

> you'll just go without the big thumps
The problem is this:
The chav definition of "car stereo" is: A clever device to draw attention to oneself while annoying as many people as possible.
They don't actually use them to listen to music; that is not the point. So, a car stereo that isn't making those big thumps is therefore "broken" in their eyes.

Even if my stereo is broken, I'll still be able to listen to the fine music churned out by my BMW's aftermarket exhaust. Can you say the same?

Well, you seem to have solved the problem by finding another device to annoy people while attention whoring down the street. Why do you even need a stereo?

Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of my high-performance engine, the screeching white-walled tires and the crackling sound of a formerly-perfect subwoofer.
