Removing backplat from a Big Baby II

[Ruarl]

I just acquired a second hand Big Baby II and I suspect the Speakon sockets might need replacing. I removed the screws from the backplate last night, but I couldn't get it to budge. Has anyone removed one of these before? Do I need to unscrew anything else? or just apply more force? I could imagine that the plate could have become adhered to the coating which covers the cab, and needs a lever to un-stick.

It could be tight cables behind it, i had this issue the other day. See if you can see behind to make sure theres no other way its mounted

I'd try contacting BF to ask if they use a sealant/adhesive when attaching the control plate.

If not a careful bit of prising may be the order of the day, otherwise, front off, remove speaker and do it that way.

It's not just a plate with sockets. The backplate is part of the crossover assembly.

Unless they have changed their method since I had to change a crossover, they use a soft material to seal the cab when the crossover assembly is fitted. Over time, this act like an adhesive. Email barefaced support and I am sure they will be happy to advise you. [email protected]
