The mid-range speakers are the two large speaker modules on the front panel. These speakers produce most of the sound for your system. You may need to replace one of these if your music is sounding unbalanced or quiet.

Gently remove the wireless card located at the bottom of the front speaker panel by pulling up and out with your index finger and thumb.
You must first loosen the Phillips #1 screws holding the plastic brackets that keep the Wi-Fi card in place.
On the Sonos Play 3 I opened, the Wi-Fi card lied flat below the plastic clips. Between the card and the clips, there were 2 rectangular foam pads glued to the Wi-Fi card.

Successful driver replacement !
I dropped my Play 3 about a month ago. Both of the mid range drivers suffered damage. The magnets pulled the cones off center. I was able to reset one of the cones and it tested ok. The other unit not so much. I bought 2 drivers from AliExpress, deciding to replace both anyway . They arrived in 3 weeks, fit perfectly in the enclosure and the wire connectors needed no mods either. The replacements took about 10-15 minutes to install and the Play 3 is now playing beautifully! Link for the drivers:
First of all, thanks a lot for the link.
Can you, please, elaborate what does "I was able to reset one of the cones"?
This was a very good how to! Enough details and steps. I can use the same de mount procedure to remove the grill so that I can spray paint it white! Thx! 😊
