iHome iP1 Faceplate and Tweeters Replacement

Inleiding

Use this guide to replace your iHome iP1's damaged faceplate and/or damaged or faulty tweeters. The iHome iP1's faceplate and tweeters are connected to each other and cannot be detached from each other, so in order to replace one, the other must also be replaced. Note that replacing the faceplate and tweeters takes the most time to do, compared to the iHome iP1's other components. This is because the faceplate provides most of the structural support to the iHome iP1 and helps connect most of its components to each other.
