I just acquired a pair of Mirage OM-7's. We had some flooding in the neighborhood, so somebody threw these onto the curb. They look great! However, upon putting them in the minivan, I wasn't surprised to hear water sloshing in the bases of the speakers.
I undid the hex screws and was able to drain the water. But I need to open up the cabinets to inspect the lower drivers and crossovers --I'm not going to hook these things up to an amplifier until I get a look inside! I've removed the two hex screws from the sides of the cabinets but they are still together somehow. Does anybody know how these things are put together? How do I get to the other fasteners so I can take the cabinets apart?
Thanks!

Isn't Mirage still in business? Call them. Most likely they will be glad to offer information.
...take the screws out of the drivers on the front and pull them out - start with the woofer.
Computer companies and turntable companies often hide screws under UL Lab stickers or spec stickers.
Don't discount the humid conditions making things "stick" as well.
Thanks. But I am not trying to remove the drivers. I am trying to open up the side of the cabinet. I have removed two hex head screws on the side. I wish to know what other hardware is concealed.

Many speaker cabinets are not screwed together but glued together. Access to the interior may be via a screw or machine bolt removable front baffle. However even that is not always the case and removal of the drive units from the front provides the only access to the inside.
NB : offhand I cannot think of any commerically made speaker cabinet with removable sides.
Agreed. Sometimes and perhaps more often than not, the only access is achieved by removing the drivers.
