Sherwood Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hey guys,I finally found a good home in a small space for the Moth Cicadas I purchased many moons ago, and the room is conducive enough that I can really notice a bit of variance in the drivers. I have a set of unused spare drivers I'd like to sub in, to see if they are more to my liking.The only trouble is, I have no clue how to remove the old drivers. The cicada enclosure is ported, but the port is too small to fit a hand in, so I can't push the driver out from the back. It fits in the cabinet pretty snugly, so I don't have enough room to fit a spudger in around the edge and pry it up. Furthermore, being paper cones, I run the risk of damaging the old driver is I do it wrong.To those who've used these drivers elsewhere, or built other sealed enclosures, are there any tricks to getting the drivers out?

luvdunhill Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I usually fashion a grabber that goes in at the screw holes. You can remove some (wood) material so that you can hook the basket from the back. I am having a hard time describing this, but basically be aggressive inside the screw holes as it will hide any damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Could you use something like a dental pick in the screw holes to pry behind the driver frame? You can usually pick these up cheap at hardware stores like Ace, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got something like a dental pick here, I'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Depending on what was used as a gasket, you might need to pull from opposite sides of the basket at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Would gravity help (I would keep it low to the ground so it doesn't have far to fall and have a flat surface with a soft towel over which to lean the speakers.)?
