Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Speaker problem?

I would grab the largest hole saw I could find and drill a hole opposite the tweeter (or just above) on the backside and take a look. If the drivers are screwed from the inside, then you may be able to get at them without damaging the front grill, which sounds like is permanently afixed. If drivers are attached from the front, then you have determined the front cloth has to go. Rip it off. If they are attached from the rear...

Take a close look, from the inside, at how the back panel is attached. If it does not appear practical to pull off the entire back panel w/o damage, then pull out the jigsaw and cut a square opening (you will need 4 drilled holes at the corners) of suitable size in the back to remove any drivers and the crossover. Try to do a neat job of it. Keep the cutout, you will be gluing back in place when you are done. You may need a little extra lumber to seal the cuts and/or support your cutout.

This is probably not as much work as it sounds. Save those THRUSTERS!!!
