I'm finally getting around to upgrading a pair of Advent speakers (the
original model with green tweeters).

The connector panel -- on which the crossover network is mounted -- is
glued to the inside of the speaker. I could remove and replace the
crossover components in situ, * but that strikes me as asking for
trouble. It would make more sense to completely remove the panel.

The "obvious" way is to repeatedly run a sharp knife (such as a carpet
knife) along the panel's edges, until enough of the adhesive has been
broken that the panel comes loose.

Is this "reasonable", or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

* I'm also replacing the switch and the jacks.

William,

DON'T disturb the crossover! Remove the woofer (which likely needs
refoaming anyway) and service the crossover in place. In addition to
glue, they are often stapled in place as well. There's not much to the
crossover in these, so it shouldn't be a big deal to service it in place.
