Dismantle B&W 802D


Hi there,

Looking for someone who knows how to pull apart the head section of a B&W 802D to get the tweeter and midrange separated.
My missus plugged an RCA direct from the source to the Power amp on one channel and when i pressed play i sent that speaker to the moon. Tweeters blown. both woofers are poling and sunken 10mm back into the cabinet. I've only had the speakers for a month just to rub salt into it.

I think the mid is ok. the tweet & woofers are definately shot as the tweeter when measured directly from the crossover is open circuit and the woofers have varying resistance when you move them by hand.

I would greatly appreciate if someone has the smarts and knows how to remove the head section and get into the midrange and tweeter enclosure so i can either send the top section away for repair or replace the tweeter voice coil myself.

B&W seem to have all of the info regarding repair of these very well tied up as i have scoured the internet looking for some manuals or a forum to no avail.

Any information would be greatly appreciated and i figure this would be the place to ask. Thanks

Just a suggestion, you might try removing the woofer (I think that model has two woofers, so it would be the upper one), and then look up to the top inside, and see if there are any fasteners there for the mid/tweeter shell.

Just a guess, but that is what I would do. Hopefully, someone that's actually had one apart will chime in. Good luck!

Dan
