    Re: Beovox p45 no low frequency

    Unfortunately, this happens very often when they are moved and almost always when shipped.

    If you do a search on the fora, you will find more info but it's basically
    a matter of the woofer magnets glue losening, allowing the magnets to
    shift to one side through their own magnetic force, sandwiching the coil
    against the center piece. This freezes the cone completely and you can feel the difference
    if you - very gently - push the cone inwards with a finger (a couple of millimeters will
    be enough, no more!). The cone should move easily and spring back when you let go.
    Not an easy fix, I'm afraid, but there may be some pro refoam'ers capable.
    Reconelab maybe.

    The same problem is seen in the Beovox S45 and S45.2 woofers as well as
    the Beovox M70 Filler unit, the latter being a very similar build to the P45 woofers.

    I recommend all owners of the above speakers to place a bead of
    2-comp. epoxy glue (araldite) around the magnets, where it meets with the
    metal basket (speaker chassis).
