Carefully begin to remove the front
panel. The wave guides are a great
place to grip for stability and support.
Do not fully remove the front panel as
the cable is still attached to the led PCB
assembly.
2
Keep the 20 screws and washers in a
safe place. 4
Carefully remove the cable attached to
the led PCB assembly.

5
Use the phillips head screwdriver to
remove one screw from the center of the
led PCB assembly.

The hard part is done, the rest is
easy! Place new led PCB assembly
(part #0007334) where the old one
was. Follow the same steps as above,
but backwards 6 to 1. Power up the
SWA1801z and led should light up.
Congratulations, you just replaced an
led PCB assembly...now go play some
shows!

Remove cables from terminals simply by
pushing down on terminal and pulling
out cable.

This is what it looks like with the front
panel and woofer both removed. Place
the new woofer (part #0012184) where
the old one was. Follow the same steps
as above, but backwards 6 to 1, making
sure to keep the led PCB assembly cable
in front of the woofer. Power up the
SWA1801z and the new woofer should
now be pumping out glorious lows.
Awesome, you just replaced an 18”
woofer!

Three cables need to be removed from
the amplifier assembly: (1) negative
(yellow and black) cable, (2) positive
(solid yellow) cable, and (3) led PCB
cable. Do not force cable removal or
connection, although needle-nose pliers
may aid in gently removing the woofer
cables. Notice their placement, as well
(see following 3 pictures).
Amp assembly replacement continued:

It may be easier to remove the amplifier
assembly if the cabinet is on its side. Do
not completely remove the amplifier
assembly yet, as the cables need to be
removed first.

6a The terminal for the negative (yellow and
black) woofer cable is located towards
the bottom of the amplifier assembly,
close to the transformer. The cable must
be attached to the same terminal it was
removed from. Failure to do so will result
in greatly reduced power.
6b The terminal for the positive (solid yellow)
woofer cable is located near the center
of the amplifier assembly, just above
the four capacitors (dotted above). The
cable must be attached to the same
terminal it was removed from. Failure
to do so will result in greatly reduced
power.

assembly. If not, the return address is at
the top of this page. Also, please write
the order number and service request
number (ex: 1046256-1203935) in big,
black, bold numbers on the outside of
the box. This helps expedite the return.
