How to open an Ampeg BA-115?

Post by jaysg »

The peizo tweeter seems to be dead and the guy would like it replaced. The 15" is front loaded and the grille must come off, but how? The piping is in nice shape and I don't want to tear it up. I can barely cram a 1/16" allen 90deg under a couple corners, but it would bend if I really yanked.

You probably need to yank the chassis to get at it.

I forgot I had a tool called...well...a pig sticker in the box. I think it's really a 'scribe'. It's a very heavy and sharp thing with a 90 degree end. Industrial velco internal. oi

Pull the grill frame . No need to pull the chassis, in fact it will do no good.
