Hey, I just bought a 2 by 15" cabinet and was just wondering how to open it up. I unscrewed everything and it was on really securely, I was afraid to try anything to crazy because I didnt wanna break a new cab. Is it epoxy or something? well anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Brian:
The speaker cabs are sealed with a black mastic (caulk) that can be quite sticky. Try pushing out the back panel by using a stick through the front ports. If your cab doesn't have open ports, then you'll have to try to carefully pry out the back at a corner seam.

My 2x15in cab also had the black caulk.Also the JBL'S are sealed in their place.I decided to leave them be since they sound great.A littel gentle prying around the edges all around will get it open.ROCKBOB

Alrightythen, Pry off the back panels carefully with 2 flat head large screwdrivers trying not to dig in to much.
Once you get the covers off one of the best things to use to clean off the black goo is either GOO Gone or my favorite -Lighter Fluid. And while you have the backs open you might as well re-wire your speakers. That 30 year old wire is pretty brittle. Use 18 - 16 gage and you'll be Cool and good for another 30 years?
