JBL Xtreme 4 Passive Radiator Replacement

Introduction

The JBL Xtreme 4 has two passive radiators to help create deeper pitches. They are located on both sides of the device. If you're needing to replace one or both, this guide will help!

A broken passive radiator usually results in your device not being able to make the same deep bass sounds as it did before. Visible tears may be visible on the outside of the passive radiator if damaged.

Be sure to disconnect your device from any external power source before beginning.
