MartinLogan Motion 4i Woofer Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Follow this guide to replace the woofer inside your MartinLogan Motion 4i model MO4IBL.

The woofer in a speaker generates low frequencies. A speaker with a failing woofer makes a fizzing sound.

You must have the back cover removed from the Speaker to start repairs. If you have already removed the back cover, please skip to step 7.

In step 9 you will need a soldering iron to take out 2 wires off the woofer.

Before beginning, the woofer is highly magnetic so keep your phone and other electronic devices away from it

      • Remove the six caps from the outer edge of the face of the speaker with an iFixit opening tool.

      • Make sure to remove the rubber caps slowly and carefully so that the ends won't break off and create a blockage above the screws.

      • Remove the six 4 mm Phillips #2 screws that are located inside each of the holes where the rubber caps used to be.

      • The screws vary in depth, therefore you will need a Phillips #2 screwdriver that is around 6 inches in length from the tip to the start of the handle.

      • Place the device face-down, then lift off the back case with both hands.

      • The speaker sometimes takes a little effort to remove the speaker back, so we recommend that you give it a couple shakes by placing each hand on the speaker face and the back when shaking.

      • If you decide to use the shaking method, make sure you're near an immediate surface near you just in case it drops.
