Removing the front grille
Remove the front grille from your SOUNDBOKS using the included plastic hex key
or your original 4.5 mm hex key from SOUNDBOKS.
Keep the screws in a glass or similar container so you don't lose them.
Clean the grille
Place the grille face down on a clean surface. Clean the inside of the grille edges with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
Remove the SOUNDBOKS logo
Unscrew the 2 fasteners holding the SOUNDBOKS logo using the included hex key. The logo will come loose and can be removed. Keep these screws — they will be needed again in step 5.
Prepare the SoundGlow box
Get out the black SoundGlow box. Apply the two blue thermal adhesive pads to the underside of the box (they are already inside the box — the ones covered with a plastic film).
Mount the SoundGlow box
Use the same two screws from the logo to mount the SoundGlow box behind the SOUNDBOKS logo. Tighten securely — the box now sits behind the logo.
Mount the LED strip
Place the LED strip inside the grille with the diodes facing inward toward the center.
Start at the SoundGlow box and click the connector in.
Remove only a little of the red protective backing at a time and press the LED strip firmly against the inner edge of the grille.
Work your way around the grille.
Trim the LED strip
The strip may be one or two LEDs too long and needs to be cut where the three copper traces meet. Use scissors or wire cutters. Cut precisely on the marked line — never in the middle of an LED.
Test SoundGlow
Connect your SOUNDBOKS battery to the Y-splitter and then to the new power port in the grille.
The LED strip will turn on automatically — that's a good sign!
Test that the lights work and that the Bluetooth connection to the BanLanX app is working before closing the box.
Close the SoundGlow box
Place all electronics inside the SoundGlow box behind the logo. Make sure the cables are not pinched. Click the lid shut.
Reattach the grille
Put your grille back on the SOUNDBOKS 3 and screw in the original screws. Tighten firmly but don't overtighten.
Connect and enjoy!
Attach the Y-cable to the battery — to your SOUNDBOKS and to the power port.

Removing the front grille
To remove the grille, use your SOUNDBOKS ‘Grill Removal Tool’ that came with the speaker when you bought it. Hook it into the holes in the corners of the grille. Pull gently to loosen the grille, working evenly around the edges at multiple points until it can be removed by hand.
If you don’t have the removal tool, we have included a small piece of red wire that you can bend into a hook. Thread it through two holes as a loop, then use it to pull the grille off.
