Method of assembling a loudspeaker and voice coil former for use therein

Abstract

A method of assembling a loudspeaker including providing a precursor loudspeaker. The precursor loudspeaker includes a chassis and a voice coil former. The chassis includes a first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal. A voice coil is mounted on the voice coil former. A first end of a flexible wire is attached to the voice coil former and electrically connected to a first end of the voice coil, and a second end of the flexible wire is attached to the voice coil former and electrically connected to a second end of the voice coil such that the flexible wire forms the loop of wire which extends outwardly from the voice coil former. The method further includes attaching the loop of wire to the first electrical terminal at a first location on the loop of wire and attaching the loop of wire to the second electrical terminal at a second location on the loop of wire.
