Removing the grille from the in-wall powered sub-
woofer is easy if you know a couple of tricks....
Here they are:
With the gold-plated spring-loaded speaker cable
connectors positioned at the TOP of the subwoof-
er, insert the Subwoofer into the hole in the wall.
Push the Subwoofer up against the drywall and
hold hold it there with your hand (always hold the
subwoofer by the frame - Never by the cone).
Insert your pencil or a long nail through each of
the four holes in the front corners of the Sub-
woofer to mark each hole location on the wood
bracket that is now directly behind each hole.
Remove subwoofer from the hole cut in the dry
wall and set it aside.
Brand new (un-installed) subwoofer:
* Awl Method - Using an awl, insert the hook end of
the awl into a hole of the grille (along the edge, not in the
center). Pull firmly to raise the grille from the seat. Repeat
at multiple positions around the edge of the grille until it
pops off.
* Reverse Mounting Hole Method - Turn subwoofer fac-
ing away from you. Find the four mounting holes located on
the back. (These holes will be used to mount the subwoofer
to the wooden mounting brackets later.) Insert a straight,
thin, sturdy object (such as a nail, or thin screw driver) into
one of the four holes and apply slight pressure. This will
in turn apply pressure to the back of the grille dislodging
it from the subwoofer frame. (Repeat in each of the four
mounting screw holes if necessary)
* Paper Clip Method - Bend a paperclip into the shape
of a “J” and then inserting the “J” through the small holes in
the grille, along the edges. Pull on the paperclip “J” and the
grille will lift out of the subwoofer.
Already-installed subwoofer:
* Use either the Awl Method or the Paper Clip Method
above.
Note: The grille is intentionally very tight inside the frame. A loose
grille would buzz or rattle during loud or bass-heavy operation.
This “press-fit” design is used by most of today’s manufacturers.
