The radiator on the Bose Soundlink Flex is what allows the speaker to have bass in the music. It works by using sound pressure to create deep pitches in music otherwise known as baselines. If the speaker seems to have little to no bass all of a sudden and the device is clean this may mean that the radiator is damaged and needs replacing. The radiator has two parts: one is attached next to the motherboard and the other is attached to the black back panel. Follow this guide to see how to replace the radiators.
