what's broken in my speaker?

Use a battery to pop it, but use a piece of speaker wire and go directly to the leads going inside of the speaker. Its rare, but sometimes the terminal connection to the lead will be faulty. If it doesn't pop with a good battery, its most likely an open voice coil. Either get it re-coned or replaced.
