Probably a silly question but is there any harm in opening up a speaker from the terminals at the rear to look inside?
Just wondering about how the terminals are connected once you connect the wire cables?
I wont be touching the box.
Yes silly question I know.......... |

Was actually for the Wharfedale XR1000
I actually opened them from the rear unscrewing the cable mounts and slightly pulling out mount.
I then had a quick look and then proceeded to screw everyhting back up.
Hope this was O'K to do? |

Sure, why not? It's good to be curious.
Just don't fill your speaker with concrete.
Inside joke... |

Thanks David......that was actually it....I was curious....
I actually opened them from the rear unscrewing the cable mounts and slightly and carefully pulling out the mount. (small looking motherboard/circuit board)
I then had a quick look and then proceeded to put everthing back and screw everything back up.
PS Reason for the answer from professionals is that this is causing a debate on one of the Hifi forums.
One chap mentioned that it would have ruined the speaker by letting air in........?? |

In a lot of cases there is a big open tube to let the air in...and out.
Y'all might want to look into another hi-fi forum.
Ohh, you just did! |

Letting the air out is ok.
Letting the smoke out is not. |

If the Wharfedale is a Revel rebadge, all bets are off. |
