Car in the speaker

[ankurjbl]

My son decided to drop his Hotwheels into the Pioneer aj bs 22 from back hole and did it. How to remove it? Can I play the speakers with car in it?

It may sound funny but I really need help here.

Remove the mid bass driver with unscrewing the screws holding it
Be careful to hold it with other hand as cable connecting to crossover is generally kept short and so you don't snap the cable from either end
Then flip the speaker and I think the toy car should be small enough to come out of the cabinet

Second this method suggested by rikhav. Alternately you could open the binding post plate which is fixed using 4 screws taking a similar care about cables connected to the speakers inside.

Seems speakers need Alen keys to open which I don't have. Back panel is normal screw . I will try the back one. Thanks for the words.

All the best......ensure you dont muddle up with the wires when removing the car....

No success from back panel. It was packed with some white foam from inside. What can go wrong if I try to play without removing it?

Took the risk of playing it with the car in. It is working fine. Will leave it this way .

If the car is metallic you could also use a strong magnet through the very same hole to try and catch hold of the car.

Well if it's not sticking didn't you try to invert the speaker and try shaking it to get it out somehow. Might take some time but should work.

Hot wheels are made of a non magnetic alloy called zamak/pot metal

Tilt the speaker sideways. You may hear the car sliding from one side to another, if it is at the bottom. If So, better leave it there.
