The speaker is connected to the main logic board with a connector, yes.
Simply removing the back cover will allow you to inspect the connector and
wires. The connector is marked J4 on the MLB.

Check out Frank's disassembly instructions here:

You won't have to do a full disassembly, just remove the back cover.

Will the last person to leave the platform please turn off the backlight?
