I'm thinking about replacing the 8" sub driver on my LSi15's and can't seem to easily remove the grill cover to get a look at them. I don't want to damage the grill or (especially) the wood cabinet, so can anyone give me a tip on how to get them off?

Thanks.

    Go to your local tool/automotive store and ask for a pick.

    I have something comparable to that. So just gently work the outside of the grill to work it up? There's just not much of a lip to work with -- maybe only about 1/8" -- sticking up from the wood cabinet. Does it take much to get it off, or just have to give it a little help?

    Thanks for the help.

    It may need a little help the first time. Just take your time.
