How to Replace a Damaged High Freq. Driver on a Mackie SRM-450

[PeteBuchwald]

Did you get the extension?? .... if you got the extension and you're able to reach the screws I don't know why they might be harder to pull out. I even did a few screws with a LONG hand-heltdscrewdriver. I did two screws with that before I went out and bought an extension : )

I am having issues getting the screws to turn, any advice?

I got mine from Orange County Speaker. $75 or so.

Where do you order the driver? I have a Mackie with the same issue. Price?

How can you visually tell the driver is bad? Just looking at the video I can't see any difference.

I think it's more of a sound than a sight that lets you know the speaker is fried. With a large speaker you can probably see physical damage to the materials on the loudspeaker, but with a small high-frequency driver like this. It's more of a sound that indicates the problem. I didn't hear this particular one, but I would guess that muffled sound, rattling with the sound, or NO sound would tell you that the driver might be damaged.
