Its probably just stuck from being in there so long. Try taking the other one out. If that one comes out easy, it will confirm that the other speaker is stuck. With the other driver out, you should be able to put your hand inside the cabinet and push the other one out from behind. If the other one won't come out either, you'll need to get something like a hook and carefully pull the driver out. If you don't have any tools for this, a cheap set of automotive picks should work fine. You shouldn't have to spend any more than $10 on them. Once you see what they look like, using them is self explanatory. Just be sure to go in from one of the screw holes so you won't put any marks on the cabinet.

Just curious, but what driver is bad? There was somewhat of a mystery concerning the right lower woofer's going bad on the 802's. Mine went bad. So did the ones my two friends had. The 2 pairs that were in the store as demo's were bad. We couldn't figure out what was causing these things to go bad. My theory was that we all used the same test CD at one time or another, and there was something on it that the speaker just did not like to reproduce. But that was just a guess. |
Hpieszko B&W Service manuals with pictures can be found here Just select your speaker series from the drop down menu. Good Luck |
Thank you all for the help. I just wanted to be sure that there were no hidden fasteners that I would be ripping out. It was the upper that was bad. I guess the automotive picks are the way to go.Incidentally, the defective driver is not noisy even if you push it in, and it does vibrate slightly so it may be just a loose connection.... |
