Klipsch speaker repair 101. Wringing hands, grinding teeth.

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Purchased a pair of Klipsch Quartet and they are stunning. I was planning to upgrade the crossover and wanted to check if the former owner, once removed, had upgraded.

Here's the thing: I had undone all the screws on the dust cover on the back, but for the life of me could not see how it is removed. Didn't want to pull on the rubber surround, but didn't see anyway to remove it. Stick a fork in its back? If I attempted around the edge I couldn't seem to find any lip to wedge a screw drive or knife (or fork) without putting a divot in the wood.

So how do you do it?

I ended up loosing the crossover housing which is on the obverse of the terminal panel. This is not the preferrred first step entry by way of Crites stepwise instructs I guess.

Anyay, cutting to the chase I recently noticed that that speaker is not on par sonically; it's like the driver(s), perhaps tweeter and mid are quieter and far away sounding. Did I just not notice this initially, and the drivers are failing, or is it a case of the caps failing, or is it a case of me pulling a connection out of place when I pulled gently (so I thought) at the crossover?

Thanks for any guidance in advance.
