so now i have pulled out all of the drivers from the speaker enclosure (802d). it would appear that the B&W speakers are just speakers like all others. all the curves and polish daunted me to go ahead but i did. it was easy. considering what i see inside the box, i can say that buying special speaker cables is a waste of money because its just good old cable inside with spade connectors. all joints are solder. they sound great dont get me wrong but everything is just the same as a normal speaker. well built i might add.
Dismantle B&W 802D
Hi there,
Looking for someone who knows how to pull apart the head section of a B&W 802D to get the tweeter and midrange separated.
My missus plugged an RCA direct from the source to the Power amp on one channel and when i pressed play i sent that speaker to the moon. Tweeters blown. both woofers are poling and sunken 10mm back into the cabinet. I've only had the speakers for a month just to rub salt into it.
I think the mid is ok. the tweet & woofers are definately shot as the tweeter when measured directly from the crossover is open circuit and the woofers have varying resistance when you move them by hand.
I would greatly appreciate if someone has the smarts and knows how to remove the head section and get into the midrange and tweeter enclosure so i can either send the top section away for repair or replace the tweeter voice coil myself.
B&W seem to have all of the info regarding repair of these very well tied up as i have scoured the internet looking for some manuals or a forum to no avail.
Any information would be greatly appreciated and i figure this would be the place to ask. Thanks
