Remove the passive radiators
1. To remove the passive radiator, the grill sock must be lowered to reach the screws
along the top half and raised to reach the screws along the bottom half.
a. The grill sock is stretchy but not infinitely so, so a bit of care is called for.
b. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws around the circumference of
the passive radiator.
c. The tuning screw in the middle of the passive radiator does not need to be
removed.
d. As you remove the screws drop them in a 3
rd
plastic cup; label as “P. rad”.
2. Once you have all the screws out remove the radiator.
3. If it sticks pinch the rubber surround for leverage and pull it out.
4. Or reach in through the hole left when you removed the low-level amp and push it
free from the inside.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other passive radiator.
Remove the woofer
1. Working through the empty passive radiator ports, remove the two wires, red and
white, from the jumper clips on the underside of the woofer’s basket.
a. These can stick a bit.
b. Use both needle nose pliers and caution.
c. Remove the wires using as purely lateral a motion as possible, in relation to
the angle with which they are connected.
Be careful not to strip those jumpers, as this will ruin the woofer.
2. Gently lift and turn the unit so it is resting with the woofer facing toward the ceiling.
a. The woofer is secured using hex screws (externally) that bite into T-nuts
(internally)
b. Using a hex key manually affords a greater chance you will not break any t-
nuts.
c. It can also help to use pliers to hold the T-nut in place from inside of the
cabinet, while you use a hex wrench to loosen any given screw from the
outside.
d. Ideally all the T-nuts will remain in place.
e. Reserve the woofer’s screws and any t-nuts that come out in a 4
th
cup labeled
“woofer”.
3. Support the woofer as you rotate the cabinet back into a normal position.
a. Support the bottom of the woofer from the outside - or enlist the aid of a
cohort and support the bottom of the woofer from the outside as well as by the
magnet from the inside.
b. Ease the woofer out of the cabinet using both hands and great care.
