Introduction

So the speaker in your Audiovox CR8030iE5 has not been producing any audio or has not been sounding good at all and you think you have to go buy a new one. Well, hold on! We have a simple fix for that.

Fortunately, if your audio does not work/sounds bad chances are you have a speaker going out and it needs to be replaced. We all know how important it is to hear quality audio.

Remember! Each speaker has a powerful magnet, so be sure to be very cautious of other metal surroundings.

    • Notice that there are two speakers located on opposite sides of the inside of your Audiovox.

    • Slide a plastic opening tool along the rim of the faulty speaker where it meets the plastic casing.
