This is what it looks like with the grill and
woofer removed. Place the new woofer
(part #0010141) where the old one
was. Follow the same steps as above,
but backwards 6 to 1. Power up the
SWA2801z and the new woofer should
now be pumping out glorious lows.
Awesome, you just replaced an 18”
woofer!

The positive (solid blue) and negative
(solid black) cables are still attached to
the woofer terminals. Remove the cables
from their terminals simply by pushing
down on the terminal and pulling out
the cable. The woofer may be removed
from the cabinet enclosure by angling it
to the side ever so slightly.

Carefully begin to remove the woofer. It
may be easier to start at the top so the
weight remains rested on the bottom
until a firm grip of the entire woofer can
be made.
Caution: The woofer is approximately
20 pounds with the weight unevenly
distributed.

It may be easier to remove the amplifier
assembly by gripping a ridge on each
side of the assembly using a pair of pliers.
Do not completely remove the amplifier
assembly yet, as some cables need to
be removed first. Five cables need to be
removed from the amplifier assembly:
(1) led PCB cable, (2) solid blue, (3) solid
black, (4) red and black, and
(5) solid red. Do not force cable removal
or connection, although needle-nose
pliers may aid in loosening the crimped
cables. Notice their placement in the
following pictures, as well.

approximately 22 pounds, so please
make sure to grasp it firmly.
