Replace diaphragm 1

Great care must be taken when replacing a diaphragm, so take your time and do it right!
Start by removing the scews that secure the diaphragm housing to the magnet.
These are usually located on the front side of the magnet assembly.

Replace diaphragm 2

Carefully lift off the housing assembly. Clean and inspect the voice coil gap.
Remove all foreign material and make sure it is uniform in shape.
Most diaphragms fail because of too much power, distortion, or too low of a cross-over point.

Test fit the new diaphragm into the housing. See how it lines up and make sure that you have the right part.
DO NOT FORCE IT! It should fit perfectly.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Too much torque can warp the diaphragm and damage the driver.

Line up the holes and tighten the screws firmly but do not over tighten.
