Lucky Pierre Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Greetings, Now that the old house is cleared out and on the market, I will have time to work on my 3s. I lost the mids and tweeters in one of them a couple of weeks ago. I verified that both drivers work, so off they will go for rebuilding. What is the best way to remove them? Should I desolder or just snip them and re-join with crimp connectors? TIA Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyC Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Snip them and clean the terminals to prepare them for re-soldering. The original aluminum leads will be replaced with easy-to-solder copper as part of the rebuilding process. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted January 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks Roy! Silly question: Should I clip both ends at the terminals? I fear these front wired drivers! Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
