    I think that song is "Natural Thing" right?

    Anyway, it's an old High School nickname. From many, many years ago.

    I was checking the cut-outs on my Horizon for ELX upgrade and had difficulty with the woofers, as well. I used a small Allen head wrench to pry gently in the screw hole, working my way around all 4 holes. Worked really well. Posting in this thread as it should also work on the S2EX woofers.

    One of my EX woofers stuck as well. I used two Allen keys in opposing holes and turned the woofer frame in the cutout which loosened it up.

    Some really great tips here on removing a stuck woofer. Another good one is to use a cheap dental pick.

    Hi All - I’m trying to switch my EX and LX enclosures. I prefer the natural finish my EX speakers have, so would like to swap out the espresso finished cabinets my LXs have since the LX are in my main listening room. Anyway, I’m having a heck of a time removing one of the connectors from one of the LX woofers. Any tips to get it to budge? I’m trying not to use too much force so I don’t break anything. I’ve done a few upgrade kits and don’t recall having this issue much difficulty before.

    As an FYI the LXs are factory and not from an upgrade kit.

    Thanks!

    When I did my Towers, I had a couple of tough connectors. I used needle nose pliers to wiggle it back and forth (meaning side to side) and then to pull it off. On one, I also applied a bit of pressure with these pliers on the sides to help loosen.

    I also used these to compress a couple of connectors when reassembling as they were too loose on the new drivers.

    I didn’t have one, but maybe a very fine pick (likely l-shaped) to insert at the top of the connector between it and the spade to break loose

    I spoke with Dina this afternoon and she gave me a couple of pointers. I now have LXs in natural and EXs in Espresso. ��

    Thanks!
