I just picked up a CS400i and it appears the tweeter is gone. I wanted to troubleshoot and make sure it's not the crossover before I replace the tweeter, but I cant figure out what I'm supposed to use to get access to the speakers.......not a flat head, phillips or hex head.....what is it??

    Torx.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    thanks......and it begs the question: why the heck did they do that?? I'm relatively handy, but I don't have a set of Torx keys, never had the need until now.

    I guess I should also ask what size? So I don't end up buying the wrong thing.:smile:

    You can get a whole set of torx bits at home depot for $5-$6. Not the highest quality, but good for light work like this.

    Torx have their own standard, T-1, T-2, T-3, etc. There are not really metric or sae sizes.
