REPLACING THE SPEAKER
Some people like to swap out the speaker in their cabinets from time to time, and for various reasons –
usually because they destroyed the original speaker, or they obtained a special or vintage speaker and
they are dying to try it out. We recommend you service your speaker from the rear, by removing the
ports and loosening the machine screws from the t-nuts. If you did not anticipate replacing the speaker
and you glued the ports in place, just remove the baffle board screws from the front and remove it that
way.
We recommend rear-service because we do not want you to run the baffle screws in and out of the
cleats more than necessary. It is important for this connection to remain structurally sound, since these
are the screws that hold in the vibrating baffle board. If you must replace the speaker from the front,
and you feel the wood screws are not holding well when you replace the baffle, you can replace the
screws with #8x1-1/4 or even #8x1-1/2 screws. If you use longer screws, re-drill the pilot holes with
a 3/32 bit, and go all the way through the cleats. If you don't like how a #8 screw looks when seated
in the #8 countersink washers, you can use #10 washers.
