My son stuck a ping pong ball in the sub. I tired everything to get this out and can not. It rattles around and sounds awful when music or music is on at medium volume. I called Sonos’s and they told me it would cost $600 if they remove it. Does anyone know how to take the sub apart ?

I can’t help you get it out but for next time you can make a slip-on cover for your sub out of speaker cloth or for more money buy a pre-made cover.
Good luck.
I watched the video. It is possible that you could encourage the tape to release by heating it with a hair drier. Also, don’t try to hurry the tape release.
While I’m not very confident of success, a technique that I’d try is rolling the speaker on edge the problem is guessing how to encourage the ball to enter the port tube.
Other low probability techniques:
Vacuum cleaner hose. If you are lucky, you can capture the ball with suction and pull it out with the hose.
Inspection camera on a stalk. Used by plumbers and other contractors you could thread this through the port and might be able to see something useful.
Here are a couple images to help you visualize what you are fighting:

I personally wouldn’t attempt it, but it seems some have given it a go:
