How to remove speaker grill

You can remove the grill in front of the speakers by using 2 mini mini screw driver one to pry it out little by little while the other to hold it from going back in .There are noscrews holding the grill.They are held by 4 clamps which are the grill inner end bend abit out thats all. So if you pry it will give way not to worry the grill is made of a hard aluminium material it just needs care in order not to scratch the paint surface and aluminium ring around it,use a soft cloth to protect the ring when prying.Remember this aluminium ring wont come out its only the grey grill that will. This thing is worth saving because it sounds great even after speaker repair.Yes where i am in Idonesia there are people who are profesionals at repairing speakers that are torn out like our harman.(torn due to age around the speaker cone).i paid 15 usd to get the both of them repaired and its the best 15 dollars i have ever spent.Cause now it could not have sounded any newer the bass is back the balance is pure harman again

Remove the protecting grill in front. Check if the cone is still connected to the rubber band. If not, remove the screws around the speaker. Open the casing itself. Do not forget the screw in the middle of the battery compartment. Remove the bottom cover. Disconnect the 2 wires on the speaker and take out the speaker. It will come out with the plastic protection around it. Looking at the cone now, push up the Carton cone and keep it in place by putting some tissue paper or small cloth underneath. Clean the cone first. Use some rubber cement on the outer edges of the cone and press the rubber back on the cone. Let it dry for an hour and then remove the tissue / cloth, so the cone goes back to its normal position.You can use some extra rubber (those pre-glued strips that you would use to fix a bicycle tire) to make it extra strong. Remount everything back in place and voila....it works again!If your cone is not damaged, the casing most probably does not seal good anymore. Tighten all screws a little more and use plastic electrical tape all around to seal all joints. The bass is produced inside the casing itself and pushed out via a horn. If it is not closed off well, your bass sounds grumpy.

an ohmmeter wont help from the terminals as the mid and tweet will have capacitors in series and wont tell you ohms --the woofer can be read however and those are the bottom terminals --can you unscrew the crossover on the back and read ohms from there? traditionaly the blue wire is for the tweeter and the green is the mid ,ohm either to the black wire from where they first solder to the board--should be approx 6ohms each

Remove the rear seat, pull up and out on the bottom half, remove the sides of the back- one bolt on bottom of each side,remove the backrest, then remove the whole deck lid with speaker grills in it , then you can replace the speaker grills.

The front speaker grill on the WS-55613 will be one of two types

!) if it is a single plastic piece with gray cloth all the way across beneath the screen--it pulls out---held in by plastic pegs--start at right or left side and pull it free.

2) some versions have two smaller grills--one on either side---they pull out and this type has a wood plate (usually black) held in with four or more screws---you remove the two small grills by pulling them out and to get the inspection plate off you remove the screws holding it.

Let me know if you have questions.

NO' YOU DONT NEED TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL, TO REPLACE SPEAKERS CONNECT WIRING CONNECTOR TO SPEAKER FIT SPEAKER BACK IN GRILLE AND REPLACE RETAINING SCREWS.

Fret cloth? Never heard of anything like that. The speakers will have GRILLE CLOTH covering the openings and the case has a material often refered to as "Tolex" covering it.

Grille cloth is NOT easily patched, you replace it all.

Remove front speaker grill(s) at the bottom of the screen behind the speaker grill you will find four or more black screws hold the bottom in. Look carefully to see the front keyboard needs to be unplugged---usually one or two different size plugs; you may have to remove the inspection plate located in back of the speaker grill to get to the point where they can be disconnected, with the keyboard disconnected the entire screen lifts straight up(you need to bring it up 3-4 inches and then it comes straight out(there are two hooks on either side that it goes into--when you finish line up a little and slide it back until it is back in place.

Clean the mirror with glass cleaner and the lens can be cleaned with a lens cloth or with a paper towel with glass cleaner sprayed on it.



Replace the screws and the speaker grill unit for the set.

Some speaker manufacturers design their boxes with non-removable front grills. Be thankful that you can remove the back because I've seen these sealed as well. Once inside, the speakers should be mounted from the inside (mounting screws on inside) compared to front mounted. IF they are not then either you're not using the proper method to remove the grill OR it's glued in place and will require breaking the glue bond to release the grill. One note to remember...non-removable grills can mean the manufacturer has something to hide.
