Mission 782 Main / Stereo Speaker Questions & Answers
Need to Replace the drivers on Mission 782 speakers.
Unless the company that made the speakers machined the allen screws themselfs, I'm sure any standard or metric allen set will work. Just becareful of the bracket because it may be glued to the speaker frame or there might be a gasket between the 2.
There will be a some wires coming from the crossover that will lead to the tweeters and to the woofer. They are terminated with female connectors that will slide on to the male end on the speakers. If the speakers that you are getting are from the same manufacture, then they should have the same fittings. If not, you may have to replace the females to match. It's a simple strip and crimp process.
Just make sure to mark the wires so you know which one is pos and neg. If you mix them it will throw your speakers out of phase and they won't sound right.
Hope this helps.
Midrange faulty
I've had the same problem/s. A manufacturing fault with the original midrange drivers of all of my Mission 780's and 782 speakers. If you contact Mission through their website they will supply an updated style driver for about £45, I would recommend buying 2 because the other one will fail eventually, if like me you use them every day. All four failed within two years of each other.

I have this mission 782 for many years! It happen
It's bi-wireable (BUY-wire). Did it occur to you that may be a factor if you're using it that way? The jumpers (or lack thereof) on the back allow or disallow the amp(s) to affect all the drivers. You can tie any amp to one or the other pair of binding posts to test them.

Drivers are easy to replace in most speaker systems. There will be 'spade' type push-on connectors to the drivers. Here are contact details for the Mission service centre in the UK: http://www.mission.co.uk/Distributor.aspx?lang=En&Tab=29 They should be able to supply you with a replacement.
Only bass driver working on the pair. tweeter and
hi,
check the tweeter and mid range. its coil may become faulty.
for checking the speakers carefully remove the speakers one by one, remove its connections.
and check the speakers with a AAA cell. is it producing cracking sound. if not the speakers coils are burned.
ok
Hand sanding wood
When sanding with a hand sanding block, I will lift the block off the surface being sanded and clap my hand onto the block to release sawdust buildup from the sand paper. I even do this when using an electric sander. The sander does a quicker job by not having to 're-sand' the sawdust that is trapped between the sandpaper and wood.
Got a set off mission
I would upgrade your speaker wire simply because the old might have a fault in it. Plus replacing it will eliminate it form any problems. Also check all connections for the wiring. I would recommend with second hand speakers that you get someone to look them over. Maybe what in the trade is called a "phantom dabbler" has been inside. With things such as bad soldering, or replacing a competent with the wrong part(s), or the wrong way around, or wrong connections.
One way to check is to look at any case screws heads for damage, only slight perhaps. Then you know somebody has been inside before.
