B&W 802 Bass Removal


There is a metal surround for the bass speakers on the B&W 802. It is held in place by six bolts which I have removed.
However, the surround still will not budge. I am probably
missing something basic. What is holding those things in place?

These are pressed in very tightly (nice build quality!). You have to get a small pick and just get it under the lip, and be ready, as it will come right out.

I had to replace my drivers and just did this a few months ago.
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.

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....
Your speakers are known to have issues where the screws loosen up over time. There's a good chance that that's your problem.
