Persona 3f question


I've never owned a set of loudspeakers that didn't occasionally require a gentle tightening of the driver screws.  How do you tighten the drivers on a set of Persona 3fs?  Thanks.

I'd call Paradigm or ask the dealer you bought them from. I know its not easy to do.

Danaroo,

That is rather personna question but I will share with you some solutions

just the same.

 

 

 

Step A:

Start by prying off the ring around the driver.

Any old oversized screwdriver will do.

If a large prying tool is not available, Vice Grips will do.

 

If you find the speakers tighten from the inside ignore step A and try step B

 

 

Step B:

Pry the back cover off.

If it gives you any trouble use WD 40 liberally.

Sometimes, like a pickle jar, it will require repeated

firm rappings with a ball peen hammer around the perimeters.

 

If Step B fails to bring joy, go to C

 

Step C:

 

Forget retightening screws all the darn time. Mix up some

marine grade, two part epoxy glue. Let it set until it is like honey.

Get a plastic straw and partially fill it with the mix.

Very Carefully wedge one end of the straw into the space around the driver.

Slowly exhale into the straw as you slide the straw slowly around the exterior.

Don’t be concerned if you drip some on the cone face. It wipes right

off with acetone.

 

Hope that addresses all your needs!

 

 

 

 

On the bottom of the front face plate, there is a lip that you have to pull forward.  Be careful, as the tweeter connection will need to be removed before you can take the face plate completely off.  Just be gentile.

It takes some muscle and care.   We have not run into any issues with anything being loose on Persona's, but if you want to double check, I'd rather you know how rather than risk damaging your speakers.  :)
