Hey guys. So I have this vertically driven (maybe) sound bar that I'm wanting to fix or upgrade.

I guess my first question is: what's this board that's inside the bar? (See pictures) is it worth trying to repair the coils and wires that've broken off. (I also don't know how to solder)

If it's not worth trying to fix it then what should I do to get some decent sound?

Ps I'm on a poor man's budget

That appears to be a crossover network, and would be required for proper operation of the speakers. If you’re not familiar with what a crossover does, it effectively works as a traffic cop directing the various sound frequencies to the appropriate speakers. Low pitch sounds go to the woofers, midrange sounds to the midrange speakers, and the highest frequencies to the tweeters.

So without knowing how to solder is there an easy way To fix it ?or replace?
 
Update: I just ended up putting new kenwoods in the larger holes and bypassing the crossover network and making the tweeters just for show. Sounds much better. Now I just need to put in my sub
