JBL should covered these passive radiators with some speaker grills! I have white JBL Playlist 150 boombox and wish badly that the passive radiator on rear side would be covered on grill.
You can tell how much those passive radiators make the speaker that's where all your bass is! was surprised that they did not sound much different with a hole in them!
Passive radiator is actually removable through disassembly. You could have removed it to see what is sounds like since it is essentially the same when making hole. However the hole thing makes it interesting to see how durable it is. haha
For those who keep saying this isnt a passive radiator and its a subwoofer. peakers produce sounds by vibrating air molecules. A passive radiator uses the internal pressure geneated by the speaker inside the sealed encloser and specifically weighted to only react to the lower frequency sounds thus vibrating the air adding support to the low frequencys. This is not a subwoofer there is no magnet structure or power being run to it. Do research before you make foolish statements on the internet.
I think the purpose of passive radiator is to make the speaker waterproof. A ported speaker will get flooded when submerged in water. But with radiators, the speaker would be fully sealed and also allows the woofers to move freely without too much internal pressure..
@@ashlysherief3850 Passive radiators effectively "increase" the amount of low end produced by small drivers in a small enclosure. Ported enclosures require twice the internal volume. Radiators are used in small speakers for this reason. Bass produced is also more accurate and cleaner bass response due to the active drivers utilizing the internal sealed volume as an "air cushion spring" to push back on.

Thank you for your contribution to science. Generations from now your research will benefit mankind's advancement of knowledge of drilling holes in speakers.
I liked the one whole the best. Actually adding a single hole can protect a passive from getting damaged from excessive bass by venting pressure. I may actually add a hole to mine. Side Note... it will no longer be water proof....
"...don't try this at home...' Too late man, too late 😂 Ok, my tip: take an old speaker that fits the hole, but do not connect it to the amplifier. It has to be airtight so if you see a slit or hole, use silicone kit or hot glue to seal it off. Be aware not to violate the integrity of the cone (best cone would not be paper but plastic or space maturial) -- When you close it up and play music, it will act as a passive radiator - but only as long as the whole speakerunit is airtight. Even the smallest hole will make the radiator defunkt. BTW I think that's actually how someone got the idea in the first place ;-) Good luck!
Hi brother I early buy jbl flip 5 but I hear some sad news that jbl flip5 have two versions they are CS version and TL version. The sound is different but they are the same flip5. Hope u see this
Flip 5 has 3 versions : - TL -> paper cone, doesn't float - GG -> woofer design is similar to CS, but paper cone, doesn't float - CS -> plastic(?) cone, floats cmiiw~
Got my flip5 for free, Because it had NO right radiator. It's been buzzing and buzzing, (not bussin') Looked it up, JBL sells parts for it. $15 for the radiator, Speaker - 0 Part -15 Total $15 for a jbl flip5 I see this as a win
It’s just metal and the air pressure prevents it from going in all the way. Kinda sad to see this speaker go to hell. Also it’s just a hallow tube with speaker openings
Seal the holes with a piece of plastic and use clear silicone to seal it and it will keep the plastic in place and fix the sound and if you cover the entire surface area with the silicone over the plastic it will harden up and make it like a speaker box without a passive radiator it should sound good not the same maybe but good and will get rid of the echo That's what I would do anyway to fix my speaker at least it wouldn't be a total loss

So, a passive radiator is a mechanical equivalent to a port, and it is tuned by weight; the best and cheapest way to add weight is with metal. The most vulnerable part of a radiator or even a speaker is in its surround. A normal person doesn't accidentally damage their passive radiators in their JBL Charge 4 by drilling a hole through them.
