We need to see the rear of each speaker showing this area. You can have more than one speaker in the photo as long as we can clearly see the serial numbers for each.
Here’s the specific area we need to see on each disabled speaker (after disabling them, the black and red connectors will no longer be present):
- How do I disable the recalled speakers?
Follow these simple steps:
1. Loosen the red and black plastic binding post caps on the rear of the speaker until they hit the thread stop and can’t loosen any further.
2. Using a 13mm box end wrench (you can substitute with vise grips, channel lock pliers, etc), place the wrench on the plastic cap and push down toward the bottom of the speaker until the binding post snaps off.
3. Repeat so that both connectors have been disabled on each speaker.
4. Take a photo of the broken binding posts making certain the model label and serial number are legible in the photo. - What if I have a question about this process?
