Use this guide if you are experiencing a decline in audio quality in your Wonderboom 3 speaker. This guide will instruct you on how to replace the speaker drivers, which are critical for sound output. Over time or due to mishandling, these drivers can fail or degrade.
Before using this guide, it is important to note that this repair may affect the speaker's ability to be waterproof. Make sure the speaker is powered off.
