Answer

I hope you typed the sentence correctly. ;)

"He GOT the speakers fixed." is as exactly as Mikey has explained it.

"He GET the speakers fixed" can't exist by itself, but can work as a demand or piece of advice: "I suggest he get the speakers fixed."  This is subjunctive mood (imagined actions).

"He getS the speakers fixed" means a regular habit or action. "Every time he takes his car to the garage, he gets the speakers fixed."

Answer

he got the speakers fixed simply means that he has successfully repaired the speakers, so that they work again. however to fix something doesnt necessarily mean that something is broken, in this case the speakers might not work the way he wants them to, so he just re-configured the system so they work just the way he likes.
