Removal of Optimus/Lineaum dipole tweeters


Anyone have any experience in removing these tweeters and/or the accompanying woofers from the Radio Shack Optimus LX-5 and LX-10 speaker systems?
Would like to experiment with these units,but don't want to damage them in doing so.
All advice is appreciated.My thanks in advance.

There are plugs under the grill that need pulled out to get to the screws. The woofers then remove easily. Madisound has lots of threads on upgrading the crossovers and woofers. I replaced my woofers with Vifa 4" and it made a very nice difference. Some better insulation helps too. Crossover is simple and seems best if left alone.
I've seen people use the tweeters as super tweeters (ie old planer speakers without tweeters or with Lowther types). This doesn't require much of a crossover, just resistors to limit low frequencies from burning out the tweeters.
I think you mean capacitors, not resistors, Elevick.

I modded a few of these for use in a HT system. I replaced the stock cap on the tweeter with the same value Auricap, and the inductor on the woofer with a better one. A little Mortite on the woofer basket helps to reduce resonance/ringing as well. They sound pretty good for what they are.
It appears that there are 3 screws holding the "tweeter assembly" down (left/right/rear) on the LX-5.The LX-10 appears to have the left/right screw hold-down,but has a flange affixed over the wiring coming out of the cabinet.
If loosening these screws,can the tweeter assembly be removed safely and intact? Thanks in advance.
