Speaker problem?

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Well at an estate sale I found a Panasonic all in 1 from 1983 with a very nice magnetic turntable(not a changer!)with a real metal platter. It also has a tape deck and analog not digtal tunner!
I got the owners manual and the speakers as well! Everything works good,except that I think the caps are bad in the crossover network on the speakers,because,even with the bass control turned all the way up
and the trebbile set at zereo there is very little bass,some bass mind you but not much! Yet the highs sound kinda bright! I know that these are not high end speakers but they should'nt sound like this!My problem is how do you get the backs off the speakers without doing any damage to the speaker cabinet as the backs are glued on and the front grills are not removeable? The Panasonic speakers look like new,thats why I wanted to see if anything could be done to improve them!(like checking the crossover network!)I've tried losening the glue along the edges of the speakers in back but the backs still don't seem to want to come off! The back reads Panasonic Speaker SB 555 12 Watts Max.Thanks,for your help! Brian

Have you checked the condition of the woofer surrounds? - B. King 19:57:36 10/19/05 (2)
