I recently purchased two replacement woofers for A60 Boston Acoustic
speakers. I have never replaced woofers in a speaker cabinet before
and would like some direction as to how to proceed. I have been unable
to find any diagrams or directions to assist me.
Turn off the amplifier. Lay each speaker on its back.
Find something to pull the grill cloth off; it's held
in place with velcro tabs.
Now you see the woofer. Remove the several screws holding
it to the box. Put 'em somewhere safe.
Prise gently around the rim of the woofer. Poof! It's
free. Lift; observe wiring color and placement; pull
wiring loose; forget wiring color; go look at other
speaker; write it down; lose the paper.
Figure out what you want to do about the gasket. Did
they include a new one? Good.
Go find your lost wiring color diagram (hint: it's on
a tiny scrap torn off an envelope; if not, you're a pussy).
Plug 'em in, screw 'em down. Enjoy some lovely old speakers.
All good fortune,
