Some adhesives can be made brittle by cold. Can you leave the Advents
in a walk-in freezer overnight? You might find it easier to break out
the crossover board after chilling the adhesive down to sub-freezing
temperatures. A gentle sideways "rap" with a soft mallet and a dowel
might break it free.

If you do this, seal the speaker in a plastic bag before bringing it
outside to warm up to room temperature, so that you don't get lots of
condensation forming on all of the metal and plastic parts.


I have not tried it, but from your description, it may be easier and
quicker to use a spray freeze ?
