 Prior to taking out the 'saws-all' I thought I'd ask the inmates:

How do I open the speaker cabinet of a Cornwall II. Looked it over quite well and it is NOT obvious. Any suggestions as I am attempting to identify exactly what the crossovers look like prior to replace/ rebuild.

Thanks

James P.

 Just pull out the bass driver and climb on in.

 OK,

I thought of that but believed that there was a way to remove the rear panel; I shall do a little 'pullin and climbing'.

Thanks

 It's been awhile... I believe if you take woofer out the crossover is attached to the bottom. All other drivers come out from the front as well. You can fish the wiring through to each.

 I think they stopped doing that by the time the Corwall II came out in the early 80's.

 original Cornwall to the ll. To get inside the ll just remove the woofer. The back is not removable like the original.

 The II series always sounded to me like a step backward.
