ryan0583 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 When taking my cab out of the pub at the end of our gig tonight, I felt something fall off inside the cab. On inspection when I got home, I found a coil of wire rolling round inside the cab. Peering through one of the ports I can see where it needs soldering back onto. The question is how do I get inside the cab? I've tried unscrewing one of the speakers, the back plate and one of the handles, but they all remain stuck to the cab even with no screws in. Any ideas?

Mr. Foxen Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Sounds like gaskets are sticking, some prying should sort it, just have to not bend the speaker frame. The coil is an inductor from the crossover. Generally melt glue is used to stop them vibrating and snapping off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan0583 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 So another question. The inductor broke off in such a way that there's barely any wire poking out of the circuit board for me to solder it back onto. The back of the circuit board is covered with board. I've managed to solder the inductor back on, and I've taped it down with electrical tape, but I'm worried that the solder joint isn't very secure. Ideally, I'd take the board off the back to fix this, but I can't see any way of removing it without breaking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hold it on with cable ties and hot melt glue. You can drill through both boards for the cable ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
