Introduction

If your JBL Flip 6 speaker is producing weak or distorted bass, or if the low-end frequencies sound muffled or unclear, the issue may be with the woofer. The woofer is responsible for producing the bass and mid-bass sounds, and a damaged woofer can significantly affect the speaker's overall audio performance, particularly in the lower frequency range.

Before beginning this replacement guide, inspect the woofer for any visible signs of damage, such as tears or holes in the diaphragm or distortion in the cone. Gently press on the woofer to check for any irregular movement or rattling, which could indicate internal damage.

Before starting, power off the speaker and disconnect it from any charging cables or Bluetooth connections to avoid electrical shock or further damage during the repair process.

    • Carefully disconnect the white connector linking the woofer and the motherboard.

    • If there is a lot of resistance when removing the plug, there could be a clip holding it in place. Check for any sort of fasteners before using much strength as you could damage the motherboard.
