Taking apart a stereo speaker is a fairly simple process.
Stereo speakers are fairly simple mechanisms for turning electronic impulses into sound. If you have a speaker and you want to disassemble it, then all you're going to really need is a clean work space, a utility knife, a screwdriver, a wire cutter and maybe some wrenches, depending on if the speaker is held together with screws or bolts. If you have those tools, and maybe half an hour or so, you can disassemble a speaker.
Instructions
1. Remove the screws or bolts that are holding the case together. Once these are pulled away, you should be able to open up the case to see inside the speaker. You may need to remove the front mesh, which you can do by carefully cutting it away with the utility knife where it's bonded to the case.
2. Remove the screws that are holding the cone in place and then remove the cone assembly. If all you need is the cone then you can cut the wires, but if you want to keep the wires in one piece then gently pry them up, breaking the solder holding them in place.
3. Remove the remaining pieces of the speaker until they've all separately been set aside with their proper hardware. There should be a few circuit boards, as well as a unit on top of the speaker that's called the EHT unit. On the bottom of the speaker there will be another piece of electronic equipment called the audio transformer. All of these pieces of equipment should be held in place with screws or bolts which can be easily removed and the pieces taken out of the speaker frame.
