I have a couple hundred speakers of all sizes laying around because the task is so daunting but this looks like I could knock out a lot more in an hour. Thank you. Also I have a giant one I kept on the metal frame, hold it like a steering wheel to pick up screws I dropped on the floor. More entertaining than a broom, LOL
I have a couple of smaller speaker magnets on extra long lanyards and a big one tied with twine with a couple paint stirring sticks on the other end for a handle that I use for the same thing. The smaller ones are great if I drop screws or a tool behind my work bench and the big one really came in handy when we were tearing down our old house bc we were salvaging as much of it's materials as possible leaving nails and screws all over the place. At the end of the day I'd drag my magnet on a string (the big one) through whatever room we'd been working in to pick up all the nails and screws, throw the bent/stripped ones in the scrap metal bucket and the good ones into the appropriate box.
Way better video avaliable. Hammer and a deep well socket set. Literally smack the center with a hammer a shaft from the start. It will blow the back off then from the back find correct sized socket and wack the other direction. The magnet is free. No prying which can easily chip magnets. More effective all around
I used a vice to hold the magnet while hitting it with a fitted socket worked even faster, thanks and just wanted to give even more ideas to your kool one.
Hi, Well that's one way. I used a torch to slightly heat up the top metal plate, then go with a knife underneath & all around. 😄 Same for the bottom plate (with the rivets). Of course with that you risk reaching the Curie point/temperature... 😣 But I usually then immediately put the magnet on a large metal surface to cool it down slowly. Vibrations from your approach still do enter the magnet (domains)... So both methods have their faults & benefits. 🤔
Yeah, I try to stay away from heat too. I've ruined a few magnets that way. I've never had trouble with the vibrations affecting them though. Thanks for watching!
@@adrewdio2694 Sure, though I like his method more. 😏✌ Less invasive. 😁 After I separate the metal plates off the ferrite magnet I use a brass wire drill brush attachment to get rid of that hardened glue residue that remains on the surface. So that I have a nice squeeky clean magnet. 😉🤔 But you can also use like an Xacto blade knife to try to remove that as well. Haven't tried acetone though...
Yes I sent you a minute ago for showing me how to take them apart if you's a pair of vice grips and open them all the way you can use the metal drawers as your balance piece and then if you have a brass punch it won't stick to the magnet while you're working
thank you so much i was trying to make a speaker with a Passive radiator and Put the voice coil From a speaker and it was a pain to Get the magnet off until i found this video!
very helpful sir, thank you. my only advice for future vids would be, speak louder for us in the back! it got easier to hear you after the first minute or so though so no biggie
Can't believe I never knew this after playing around with electronics for so many years, now I know what to do with the trashy speakers I've hoarded. Thanks!
You actually dont have to drill those rivets out. They are not holding the plates on. They attach the plate to the speaker and can e pried right off. Thanks for the video. I figured it out after watching you.
Yeah, because the plate of the speaker is thin and maleable and therefore the holes where the rivets go through get bent and deform and the rivet heads go through. Next time I won't waste time drilling the rivet heads. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. Yeah don't drill the rivets out, I ended up with a shitload of metal shards which were hard to clean up. On a second one, prying was easy.
Is this "rare earth" type of neodyminium magnet? I have a subwoofer that I'm looking to take apart but my dine-sized neodyminium is stronger. I'm wondering if the Samsung subwoofer magnet is a neodyminium type. Thanks.
I've torn apart a ton of speakers but that is smoothy smooth method - I forgot how the keepers are set in there - unfortunately I'm about to tear apart two mint 10" speakers for the Magnets (magnet motor project > too many speakers - it's sad though)
I don't have that L shape bar. What is is called? But i just heat the magnet and use flat head screw driver and hammer to separate the magnet. It works.. But how to remove the glue residue?
Heat works but too hot can ruin the magnet so be careful. I'm not sure what type of glue you have on your magnet so a mechanical method is probably better than a chemical method. Maybe scrape or sand it off. Experimentation might help.
Hmmm...must have done something wrong, my attempt (after heating the structure) broke the magnet nearly perfectly in half making two pancake magnets stuck to the 2 associated metal pieces. Will have to try again, but maybe look for a better way? Thanks anyway, looked like it would be easy.
right on bro. Like great video and I don't mean to put my 2 scene in, if it seem if it seem rude. I don't mean to but there a I d..but theres another way that's less effort and energy and time consuming less tools. faster and Yu can jus use a chisel and hit it once directly at the crease where the magnet and the middle meets to be more specific exactly where the apply the adhesive glue. tho make it count when you strike.... Ill be disassembling there's all the time. Text me no more than.
A sledgehammer a full concrete floor or rock and a very wide chisel and in a few whacks it pops off just put the Chisel between the magnet and the speaker I have about 10 of them done in under five minutes earlier
@@Makebuildmodify really I wanted to find info about further dismantling the Magnus to get the rare earth or alnico magnets free and separated from the metal casing and weaker ceramic magnets surrounding them. Every one of those speaker magnets can be broken down further the really good magnet is found in the middle
@@Makebuildmodify actually I found out how to do it without taking the back off, i need a heat gun, the reason I was asking was because I wanna make a custom built 10 inch sub
i was able to use a hammer and crowbar without damaging them to get them out, anyway does anyone have some cool uses or projects that these speakers can be used in to give me some ideas?
looks like the ones I replaced in my 1990 accord coupe a few years ago. but judging by the brownish wire clip connector thing and dual paper cone and the age appearance i would say its most likely from a 1990s car.. most u.s cars from the 90s that I've seen use 4 screws and have black fabric over them.. and most European brands from the 90s that I have seen use larger magnets, cloth or rubber surrounds and black baskets. so, probably 1990s Japanese... Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Subaru... the higher end cars and lux brands.. Acura/Lexus used much higher end drivers, so my guess would be a 1990 - 2000 civic, accord, Camry, Corolla, Impreza, legacy... often they used 6x9s in the rear so probably a front door speaker.
If it has no rivets or screws, it may be glued or maybe spot welded. If you have a way of holding it, like a vise, you may be able to get between the magnet and the rest of the speaker with a pry bar.

Any ideas how to handel it when plates and magnet are glued together pleass ???? Did all your steps and destroyed thatt magnet
Sorry to hear that. Sometimes the glue is just too strong. I haven't experimented with solvents so I don't know what would work.
1:43 is that thing on that plate a small magnet?
No, it's just a metal plug to help the speaker coil do it's job.

Probably can't

Are magnets worth anything?
Yes.
may i know the diameter of the speaker please?
I can't remember. It looks like the magnet is about 3" and the speaker is about 5"

The magnets are useful for projects or just to have around for picking up or holding small metal parts.

Sorry to hear that. It happens sometimes. It takes a little practice to get it right.
I didnt have anything to hit it with so I took a screwdriver and placed it in the gap and bent a little then I heard a crack from the glue
