Einleitung

The mid-range speakers are the two large speaker modules on the front panel. These speakers produce most of the sound for your system. You may need to replace one of these if your music is sounding unbalanced or quiet.

    • Insert a spudger along the edge of the screen and gently use it to pull the screen away from the casing. Slide the spudger along the length of the grill to detach all the clips holding it in place.

    • Gently pull the screen away from the body of the speaker, revealing the tweeter and two mid-range drivers behind it.

    • There may be a kind of black sticky adhesive holding the screen clips to the rest of the body; however, it was previously removed on our model.

    • Unscrew eight 1.5 inch Phillips #2 screws attaching the front speaker panel to the box.

    • Unscrew the single 1 inch Phillips #2 screw located on the left side of the panel. This may be hidden beneath the warranty void sticker that you'll want to remove.

    • Unscrew the single 3/4 inch Phillips #2 screw, which is the last thing holding the front panel to the casing.

    • Remove the front panel carefully.

    • Note that there are two layers to the panel that should stay in their original order.

    • Gently remove the wireless card located at the bottom of the front speaker panel by pulling up and out with your index finger and thumb.

    You must first loosen the Phillips #1 screws holding the plastic brackets that keep the Wi-Fi card in place.

    On the Sonos Play 3 I opened, the Wi-Fi card lied flat below the plastic clips. Between the card and the clips, there were 2 rectangular foam pads glued to the Wi-Fi card.

    • Use tweezers to disconnect the wire connectors from the mid-range speakers. The connectors may be very tight, but we promise they do come off.

    • Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, remove the screws securing the speakers to the front panel.

Successful driver replacement !

I dropped my Play 3 about a month ago. Both of the mid range drivers suffered damage. The magnets pulled the cones off center. I was able to reset one of the cones and it tested ok. The other unit not so much. I bought 2 drivers from AliExpress, deciding to replace both anyway . They arrived in 3 weeks, fit perfectly in the enclosure and the wire connectors needed no mods either. The replacements took about 10-15 minutes to install and the Play 3 is now playing beautifully! Link for the drivers:
