4kq dash speakers

[Aaron Sherrick]

The grilles are being VERY persistent about staying in place.  I put them a
few inches from the light bulb of my desk lamp (which gets quite hot) for 20
minutes or so, but that didn't seem to phase it.  I'll probably give it
another shot, but this time for a longer duration.  If that fails, I guess
I'll just cut the speaker out from the bottom and hopefully be able to pop
the grille off from the bottom.  We shall see.

the grille will pop out eventually, though it's hard to do without
warping it.  The glue seems to be "semi-hard" and I suspect having the
whole thing a bit on the warm side would help, ie leave it in the sun
for a few hours.  Cutting out the old speakers and mounting your new
ones in the housing is quite do-able, it may require removal of some of
the mouting frame of your new speakers depending on their design.  The
grilles seem to re-insert ok, maybe with some fresh caulky type gunk to
seat them well.
