Gotcha, but removing the crossover board from the cabinet was not the reason for the sawzall. The crossover board was screwed to a sidewall of the cabinet not the back, and was easily removed once I got into the cabinet. The issue was getting INTO the cabinet at all. To get inside, you had to remove the back of the cabinet, which was screwed on and glued onto cleats inside. And the back was screwed to the cleats from both INSIDE and outside. So even if I'd been able to soften the wood glue, and remove the outside screws, the inside screws still held it tight without anyway to get at them. The only way in is to cut out around the perimeter of the back to give access to the interior cleat screws. Replacing the back is the inevitable, but unavoidable result. Obvious hindsight tells me the best way to have done this would have been with a circular saw, with the depth set just at 3/4" to only cut through the plywood of the back. But I was trying to avoid filling the cabinet and drivers with sawdust, so went the sawzall route, thinking I knew where the crossover was positioned and could therefore miss it with the blade. The moral of the story is, just because you've seen pics of interiors of the same cabinet on the Internet, doesn't mean your crossover is going to be positioned in the same place.
