Hi guys, as you know i just bought a pair of pre-owned N800 and I'm starting to find some problems with them.
It seems the on one of the speakers the rubber seal surrounding the FST drive is tucked under the FST drive at a certain area, thus exposing a white surface that comes behind the rubber.
I'm not sure why this happened but I doubt that this was a manufacuring problem. I'm suspecting that the FST driver has been perhaps tampered with or repaired. The driver was probably remove and on assembly, not much care was taken to position the rubber correctly. I noticed some minor scraches on the tension screw in the back that might indicate this.
Reading through some other threads in the forum, I cam to know that this may have an effect on the sound, because the marlan enclosure may not be completely sealed and thus air may escape and affect the sound.
I have to say, I have noticed some difference in the sound coming from the speakers. It seems that the mid band on the good speaker is slightly stronger when compared to the damaged one! All the details are there, but they are very subtly more prominant on the good one, causing some very slight scewing of the midrange towards the good speakers (Am I imaging this?! haha).
Any way, I need help guys. How can I fix this?
Should I try to pick it out with a small grabing tool?
Is there a way to loosen the driver, align the rubber and tighten it back on. This seems to be difficult due to the complex marlan enclosure.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
