JBL Boombox Teardown

Step 1 — Get rid of embellishments

Tip: It can be easier if you rest the speaker against the floor and make it turn.

Step 2 — Unscrew the handle

Once you remove the ring, we can access the screws that are underneath that hold the handle to the main body.

Step 3 — Remove the handle

Cautiously, pull the plastic rings out towards away from the speaker body, until it releases from the side.

Step 4 — Remove the cloth cover

On the bottom, introduce a slim opening pick (screwdriver, knife, etc.) in the line of union that exist between the two halves of the cloth cover.

Step 5 — Remove the cloth cover

Once you get the screw that holds the cloth cover, we open it as we open a book.

Step 6 — Extract the tweeters

Loosen the screws that hold the sides with the tweeter speakers.

Step 7 — Extract the tweeters

Carefully lift the side pieces that contain the tweeter speakers.

Step 8 — Remove the speaker/subwoofer

Once you remove the tweeters, we can remove the sub-woofers. To do this we loosen the 8 screws that holds each sub-woofer.

Step 9 — Removing the main board

After the previous steps, we have access to the main board.
