Fred, April 12,2017 Thanks SO MUCH for this repair series. I bought the Grace Mondo internet radio several years ago and loved everything except the sound. Whenever any low notes played and at louder volumes the speaker would bottom out and distort terribly. I immediately wanted to replace the speaker but only got as far as removing six screws. Thanks to your guide, I saw how to pry the face plate off and expose the speaker. I replaced it with: http://www.parts-express.com/hivi-b3n-3-…, and am extremely happy with the results. Finally bass notes and clear music at louder volume without distortion. THANKS AGAIN!
