Step 3Removing the Rest
Turn your attention to the front side of the speaker housing.
Begin by removing the woofer and tweeter using a regular phillips head screw driver. Be careful of the capacitor connecting the two speakers together. A strong force could easily break the connection. I broke the connection accidentally on one of my conversions and had to re-solder it back into position.
Remove the speakers gently and set them beside the housing. The gray wire connecting the speakers to the circuit boards should be long enough for you to place it beside the housing.
You should now see three circuit boards left in the housing. Two of them easily slip out. The last one is screwed into the back of the housing. Remove the screws holding it in using the precision phillips head screwdriver. Make sure you got them all out before prying. I believe there should be eight. There is also some black tape holding this board down as well. After a bit of prying on each of the four corners, the board should come out fairly easily.
The other side of this board has the Power Button, the Volume Knob and a Three-Position Switch which decides whether this speaker will be set to Left, Right or Mono.
You should now be left with something similar to the picture below.
Congratulations, you can now chuck the ugly housing Rocketfish provided.
