arken Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 After 50 some odd years the mid-range does not want to come out of the cabinets!!! I can get a thin screwdriver in there but I don't want to booger up the face of the speaker. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecat Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hi....remove screws. Take very thin wire or fishing line and slowly work it under lip in a circular fashion...working the line back and forth like you are sawing something. You can also use those small curved metal paint can openers to finish. WATCH your leads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have found the easiest and safest way to removed mids from my 10Pi is to remove the woofer and reach in and gently push up on the magnet. I also use this method when installing the mid. One reason that's it's hard to get the mid driver in and out is that the wire terminals have notches bored in the recessed area where the screws holes are located. There is very little 'play' to maneuver them past/through those notches. No room for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD70 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I had to use a piece of wood in the cabinet as a lever with another piece vertically wedged between the wood and the mid magnet. Lift the wood lever which pushes the vertice piece against the magnet and it lifted right out. There will be some wood splinters stuck to the mid. After I cleaned all the old putty away, I layer a thin layer of epoxy to firm up the baffle surface before reinstalling the mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
