Damaged KEF Q150 - What are my options?

If you're just jumping the breaks on the current board, I think your repair should just need 2 wires, and it will look basically like this, with the pink and yellow lines representing your jumper wires soldered at their end points (for this repair, that's easier than the scraping route I described earlier - sorry I didn't think of it then):

Make sure you still have a gap at the top between the left and middle copper traces.

And ignore some of the scaling issues between the two halves in my image. That's just a foreshortening issue left over from the image manipulation.

Yes duh. I knew I was forgetting something that I learned in Electrical school. Good idea you beat me to it. Yes a super simpler fix. 👍😊

Thanks this is working great now, cheers!

Custom enclosure is sealed 300mm x 180mm x 142mm, and wall mounted

Have a small room, 2,25m wide, kept bumping into the side q150s so made a custom cabinet with ~half the depth, similar to the new q4 metas
