Introduction

Passez à l'étape 1

Unlike the main subwoofer speakers, the pair of small "tweeter" speakers at the edges of the W-King X10 are responsible for only the higher frequency sounds produced by the X10. Where a malfunctioning main speaker will result in a sharp, tinny sound quality, a malfunctioning tweeter will result in a dull, muffled sounding quality. This is because the X10 will be unable to produce the higher ranges required.

Follow this guide to replace your tweeters if they are malfunctioning.

Before you begin this repair, power off your speaker and disconnect it from the charging cable.

The prerequisite guide to remove the speakers requires soldering. For detailed instructions, refer to the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.

    • Make sure the X10 is powered off and disconnected from the charger before beginning the replacement.

    • Orient your W-King X10 so that the front is facing you.

    • The W-King logo will be facing you when the X10 is oriented correctly.

    • Using a metal spudger, pry open the top points of the front-facing mesh guard.

    • The connection points are approximately in line with the strap clips on the central control panel.

    • You will hear an audible "pop" when the connection opens, and the top edge of the mesh guard will visibly separate from the X10.

    • Lay the X10 on its back so that the bottom is facing you.

    • Using the metal spudger, separate the two connection points located on the left and right sides of the mesh panel as shown.

    • Separate the connection point in the center of the bottom section of the device.

    • As before, all connection points should audibly 'pop' when disconnected, and the mesh panel will visibly separate from the body of the X10.

    • Take care not to accidentally reconnect the points you’ve already separated. Using opening picks to hold the connections open can be helpful as you complete this step.

    • Gently pull the speaker straight out of the frame of the device.

    • If you tilt the speaker too far, it may catch on the frame, making it impossible to remove.

    • The speakers are connected to the board by cables, so avoid yanking or pulling on them forcefully.

    Modifier

    • Use a soldering iron to disconnect the three wires connecting the speaker to the motherboard.

    • Unscrew the top arm of the X10.

    • There are 4 7.5mm Phillips #0 screws at the center of the top arm.

    • There are 2 7.5mm Phillips Head #0 screws at the base of each side of the arm.

    • Use the metal spudger to dislodge the two clips on each side of the arm.

    • The two clips are at the front and back sides of the arm.

    • Remove the arm but pulling apart the two sides of the arm away from the casing and lifting the arm free from the casing.

    • All 4 clips must be dislodged in order to free the arm. Be careful not to accidentally reconnect one or more as you dislodge the others.

    • Removing the arm takes moderate force. The plastic is strong and should not break, but be careful with yourself and your X10.

    • Remove the rubber foot at the bottom of the X10.

    • Use the Jimmy to separate the glue that holds the foot on to the casing.

    • Be gentle so as not to damage the soft rubber foot.

    • Peel away the rubber foot to expose the bottom panel of the casing.

    • Remove the Control Panel from the top of the X10 by using the plastic spudger to separate the glue that attaches it to the casing.

    • There will be limited slack on the panel until you disconnect the ribbon cable. Be careful to not overexert the cable by keeping the panel close to the casing until you have disconnected the cable.

    • Using a pair of tweezers, gently pry the ribbon cable that connects the control panel to the motherboard.

    • Use a 2.5 millimeter hex key to remove the ten 17.5 mm screws that connect the two halves of the X10 casing.

    • Several of these hex screws are in deep, narrow holes in the casing. We recommend using a full-length hex key rather than a hex bit at the end of a driver.

    • Separate the two halves of the casing using the metal spudger to pry apart the 10 connection arms that form the structure of the casing.

    • If this is the first time opening the casing of this X10, there will be glue around the seam of the casing. Use the spudger to split the glue to loosen the seam.

    • Use tweezers to disconnect the push-in wire connection between the battery and the motherboard.

    • Batteries connected to a circuit pose a risk of electrical shock. Use ESD-safe tools when handling electronics.

    • Remove the battery.

    • Remove the tweeter and the plastic coverings.

    • The tweeters are wired directly to the main speakers. These wires are disconnected when removing the speakers, allowing the tweeters to be removed. However, if you plan to reuse the wiring, you must desolder it from the old tweeters.
