LSi15 Question

I recently bought the LSi15s and am duly impressed, but I have a question.

Is there a way to remove the fabric covers on the woofers on the sides of the speakers?

I'm going to have to clean them on occasion, and possibly replace the fabric at some point in the future and want to know if I can just pry out whatever is holding it in place for cleaning/replacing and then put it back.

I've got a Newfoundland dog (think big black St. Bernard if you can't picture the breed) that unfortunately slobbers on occasion:eek: so I end up with spots of drool on walls, furniture, and already a spot on the aforementioned fabric panel:supermad: I got this one quickly enough with a wet cloth to clean it in place, but when it dries, Newfy drool rivals epoxy for its staying power.

So, If anyone can tell me if I these panels are made to be removable or not so I can pry them out without damaging anything.

    If you do a search, you might come up with something, I remember a topic like that.

    A jewelers screwdriver (flat head) covered in tape would be my idea.

    If no one here can help, then I'd call Polk customer service.

    Yes, but you have to be very careful.

    Take a thin knife or something thin and strong, preferably with no really sharp edges on it. Stick it between the edge of the "ring" and the wood and work it out a little bit. It doesn't take much, once you get enough to grab with your fingertips just pull it off. It's not held in by anything other than the wood.

    Good luck, and be careful. :)

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

    It looks just like the woof in the PSW-250. Not saying it is, but there is nothing special about it.

    I can take a pic if you really want one for the ceiling in your bedroom or need some bathroom material.......
