This is great! Well done! Thank you. I dropped mine and there's not any sound now. What would you think happened and where should i start?
Perhaps open it up and then use a multimeter or some other speakers to see if you're getting any output from the amplifier? Sometimes the speaker drivers are damaged by dropping.
Do you know the part number for the speaker or where to buy it ? After a trip to the beach I now have a cracking sound in one of the speakers.
Thanks for the help
Hi,
Where can i buy genuine Bose replacement speakers for the Soundlink?
Do you know if the the other speakers were passive radiators or powered subwoofers? Bose claims that the are subwoofers but I'm skeptical
