If your JBL Flip 6 speaker is experiencing distorted or low-quality sound, especially at higher volumes, the issue may be with the passive radiators. These components are responsible for enhancing bass response and overall sound quality. A damaged or malfunctioning radiator can cause rattling, buzzing, or weak bass, affecting your listening experience.
Before starting this replacement guide, check the radiators for any visible damage, such as cracks or tears in the rubber surround. Gently press on the radiators to see if they move freely. If they feel stiff or produce distorted sounds when pressed, it's time to replace them.
Step 4 of this guide involves carefully opening the speaker to access the radiators, followed by detaching the old components. Be sure to have the correct replacement radiators and any necessary tools, such as a small screwdriver and adhesive, ready before you begin.
Before starting, make sure the speaker is powered off and fully disconnected from any charging cables or Bluetooth connections.
