Opening up a speaker

Marcel Van Sister New member Username: Marclau Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-08	Posted on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 11:36 GMT Probably a silly question but is there any harm in opening up a speaker from the terminals at the rear to look inside? Just wondering about how the terminals are connected once you connect the wire cables? I wont be touching the box. Yes silly question I know..........

I then had a quick look and then proceeded to screw everyhting back up. Hope this was O'K to do?

I actually opened them from the rear unscrewing the cable mounts and slightly and carefully pulling out the mount. (small looking motherboard/circuit board) I then had a quick look and then proceeded to put everthing back and screw everything back up. PS Reason for the answer from professionals is that this is causing a debate on one of the Hifi forums. One chap mentioned that it would have ruined the speaker by letting air in........??
