Section 8.1 – Repair Procedures
Replacing a Blown Resistor
The WATCH Surround Series 2 loudspeaker has a resistor that will protect the
tweeter, in most cases, if the speaker is over driven during normal operation. This is
done so that the driver is not damaged. Replace a blown resistor as follows:
1. Turn off the amp.
2. Disconnect the speaker cables and remove the Surround from the wall.
3. Place the speaker on its side on a comfortable working surface.
Note: It is best to place a cloth towel under the driver so that you will not dam-
age the enclosure when unsoldering the driver.
4. Remove the resistor access cover from the enclosure by removing each of
the button head screws (see Section 4 for resistor cover locations).
5. Heat up the leads of the resistor with a 45 watt (approx. 1100 degrees F)
soldering pencil and remove the faulty resistor.
3. Wrap the leads of the new resistor around the ends of the posts and re-
solder the leads.
4. Re-attach the resistor access cover to the enclosure, making sure not to
over tighten the screws.
Replacing a Bad Driver
If you believe that a driver is blown, make sure that you have tried replacing the
protective resistor before you replace the driver. No sound coming from a driver is of-
ten a blown resistor and not a bad driver. If you need to replace a driver, do so as fol-
lows:
