This may be off topic, but I don't know where else to ask. Started to relocate my logitech x230 speaker system, which consists of a big woofer to sit on the floor, and two tweeters that can sit on your table or hang on the wall. This particular system is no longer made, unfortunately, and it is truly wide-band audio. Problem: I discovered that the acoustic sound tube inside the woofer enclosure has come unglued from the plastic port entrance device, and I can't get the plastic thing off the enclosure so as to fish out the sound tube and glue it back on to the port device. The box is otherwise sealed up--apparently glued together--and I can't get the plastic port device off the box so as to glue the sound tube back onto it and put the thing back together. So, looking for advice as to how to get the port device loose from the box without breaking it! (I have tried very hard to slip a knife under the edge of it, but with only about 40% success. I tried heating the plastic port with a hair-dryer, but I'm afraid to get it too hot and melting it! If they had better glued the sound tube onto it before installing the assembly inside the box, this mail wouldn't be written! If this is unclear, I will attempt to draw a picture and attach it to an email. --thanx--doug //

It never occurred to me to try and take the woofer out and work from inside the box. I haven't done that yet, but I certainly will. It seems like "the long way round" but if that's what it takes. . . . Thank you! --doug PS: the video segued into a lesson on speaker impedance characteristics in the hi-fi world, which is a hobby-horse of my grown son, and I've passed it on to him.
