Led PCB replacement:

Carefully begin to remove the grill. Do

not fully remove the grill as the cable

is still ﬁrmly attached to the led PCB

assembly.

Keep the six screws in a safe place. 4

Carefully remove the cable attached to

the led PCB assembly.

Three screws need to be removed from

each side of the grill using the phillips

head screwdriver (six screws in all).

Carefully remove the led PCB assembly

from the back side of the grill.

Led PCB replacement continued:

The hard part is done, the rest is easy!

Place the new led PCB assembly (part

#0007334) where the old one was. Follow

the same steps as above, but backwards

6 to 1. Power up the SA1521z and the led

should light up. Congratulations, you just

replaced an led PCB assembly...now go

play some shows!

Use the phillips head screwdriver to

remove one screw near the center of

the led PCB assembly.

Woofer replacement:

Follow steps 1-4 of the led PCB

replacement instructions, as the grill will

need to be removed in order to access

the woofer.

Eight screws and washers need to be

removed from the woofer using the 4mm

allen wrench.

Keep the eight screws and ﬂat washers in

a safe place.

Carefully begin to remove the woofer.

This woofer has a tendency to want to

“pop out,” so please be sure to hold

the woofer in place with your free hand

while removing the screws with the other

hand.

Caution: The woofer is approximately

18 pounds with the weight unevenly

distributed.

Woofer replacement continued:

Remove the cables from their terminals

simply by pushing down on the terminal

and pulling out the cable.

This is what it looks like with the grill and

woofer removed. Place the new woofer

(part #0013918) where the old one was.

Follow the same steps as above, but

backwards 6 to 1, making sure to keep

the led PCB assembly cable in front of

the woofer. Power up the SA1521z and

the new woofer should now be pumping

out glorious lows. Awesome, you just

replaced a 15” woofer!

Push

The positive (solid yellow) and negative

(yellow and black) cables are still

attached to the woofer terminals.

High Frequency Driver replacement:

Follow steps 1-4 of the led PCB

replacement instructions, as the grill will

need to be removed in order to access

the high frequency driver.

Eight screws and washers need to be

removed from the horn using the phillips

head screwdriver. 3

Keep the eight screws and ﬂat washers

in a safe place. Note: There are two

different screws that connect the horn

assembly to the cabinet.

Four screws for the top and bottom

of the horn assembly (#’s 1-4)

Four screws for the sides of

the horn assembly (#’s 5-8)

High Frequency Driver replacement continued:

The positive (solid blue) and negative

(blue and black) cables are still

attached to the high frequency driver

terminals. Remove the cables from their

terminals simply by pushing down on the

terminal and pulling out the cable. 7

Keep the four nuts, four ﬂat washers, and

four locking washers in a safe place.

Carefully begin to remove the entire horn

assembly (with the high frequency driver

still attached). A ﬂat head screwdriver

may help in horn removal if it is sticking to

the cabinet.

Caution: The horn weighs about 5

pounds, and the weight is not evenly

distributed.

Four nuts and eight washers may be

removed from the driver using the 10mm

open end wrench OR the 13/32 inch

socket. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen

and remove, clockwise to tighten. The

other pair is in the same place on the

other side of the horn assembly. Notice

that the ﬂat washer is on the bottom,

followed by the locking washer, and

ﬁnally the nut. Once they are removed,

the four headless screws need to be

liberated. Pliers may aid in the headless

screw liberation.

High Frequency Driver replacement continued:

The high frequency driver should easily

lift right off of the horn assembly. Holding

down the horn assembly with one hand

while lifting up on the driver with the

other hand may help.

Keep the four headless screws in a safe

place, as well. 10

This is a straight down shot of the horn

assembly. There are two somewhat

oval-shaped indents next to where the

terminal markings are, as shown above.

This is how the new frequency driver

needs to line up. Follow the same steps

as above, but backwards 9 to 1. Power

up the SA1521z and the new driver

should now be pumping out those highs

again. Fantastic, you just replaced a

high frequency driver!

The horn is shown above with the high

frequency driver circled. Four screws

need to be removed from the driver

using the 3mm allen wrench.

Keep the four screws in a safe place.

The diaphragm and plate adapter are

easily removed from the horn assembly.

They may not be broken down any

further. Place the new diaphragm (part

# coming soon) and plate assembly

where the old one was. Follow the same

steps as above, but backwards 4 to

1. Power up the SA1521z and the new

diaphragm should now be pumping

out those highs again. Sweet, you just

replaced a diaphragm!

Diaphragm replacement:

Follow steps 1-5 of the high frequency

driver replacement instructions, as the

horn will need to be removed in order to

access the diaphragm.

At the present time (November 2006),

diaphragms are not currently available,

so you will have to replace the complete

driver following the previous section

(pages 7-9). If you have received a

diaphragm, please follow the steps

below.
