Introduction

If your speaker sound quality is not as good or as loud as it is supposed to be the speaker driver may need replacement. Pay careful attention and research the sound issues you are having with your device to find out if you need to replace the speaker driver or the passive radiator as both are responsible for different aspects of the sound output.

An electrodynamic speaker driver, often called simply a speaker driver when the type is implicit, is an individual transducer that converts an electrical audio signal to sound waves

Before starting this guide make sure you turn your speaker off and on and test the sound again just incase the sound issue was not a one time thing. If the sound is still off you will need to complete this guide.

This is a difficult guide to complete so be sure to read the entire guide thoroughly before starting.

    • To access all internal components, first flip the speaker upwards to where you can see the base.

    • Using the flat head #4.5 screw driver, carefully lever and rotate the driver around the edge of the speaker to enlarge the gap further.

    • Here, it is ideal to use a spudger as opposed to the flathead screwdriver, however, the flathead makes it so much easier to pry off the cap.

    • Pry off the base of the speaker and remove the end cap.
