I also would like to know know why it would be necessary to remove the board before removing the speakers? Nothing is prohibiting the speakers from being removed right away.

Same problem happened to me when I replaced the screen, had to remove the speaker and when I put it back the upper (left) didn't work and the lower (right) had terrible distortion noise. playing a little with the upper speaker location made it work but with noise as well.
The phone is useless without this speaker, it's pretty shame that nobody pays attention to this point in their guides.
Have you fixed your speakers? Did you at least discovered why it happened?
I had a similar problem after replacing my battery. After I put the phone back together, my bottom speaker was not working. I went ahead and ordered a speaker to replace the one that was not working, and it still didn't work. Knowing that my top speaker was working okay, I replaced the top speaker to see if the new one I received was working, and it didn't work on top either. As a matter of fact, I put back the original top speaker that was working okay, and now it doesn't work. So now neither one of them are working. I have to use earphones to hear my phone. I don't know what happened. The instructions to replace the speakers are not that difficult.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I'm not ready to give up my phone just yet.

I replaced the speakers recently and it is not recessary to remove the motherboard to replace them.
To corroborate with the other commenters: removing the motherboard is unnecessary. The speakers are only held in with a small ring of adhesive, which can easily be pried out. Additionally, the two speakers are identical.
Where can I get new speakers?
My moto g2 handset was burnt by short circuit and hence not opening only rather i may say that it was damaged. So, help me in repairing the handset.......
I was having trouble removing the adhesive copper foil above the battery, most of it ripped and is ruined. How much will that affect phone performance?
I had no sound after replacing my screen, but it's kind of working now after footering about, so I thought I'd share my thoughts for anyone in a similar predicament (I'm very much a chancer - happy to be corrected by someone who knows what they're on about!)
It seems like the speakers are connected via conductors on the back panel. I think the reason I had no sound after transferring them (along with everything else) to the new screen assembly was that the clear plastic/adhesive bit on the new thing wasn't thick enough, so the speaker wasn't being pressed against the back panel hard enough to make a good contact. I swapped this in from the old one and hey presto! A bit distorted, but working :)
So when performing Steps 10 and 11, make sure you don't leave a bit of transparent plastic behind - I'm not sure whether this is additional to the adhesive, or whether it's just turned hard in the meantime, but either way, the speaker needs to be at a certain height to work.
I have the same problem as others. After I replaced the display, the speaker don’t work anymore.
I’m buying new one but I need to know, Are the two speakers identical?
