Step 3

Removing the grilles from in-ceiling and in-wall speakers is easy if you know a couple of tricks.... Here they are:

Brand new (un-installed) speakers:

Hold the speaker in your hands, grille-DOWN, over your lap

With your thumbs, swing out the white plastic mounting ears on the back of the speaker

Position your fingers under the white trim-ring/bezel around the front of the speaker

Press down on the extended plastic mounting ears

The screws of the mounting ears will press against the back of the grille. The grille will pop off into your lap

Already-installed speakers:

Using an awl, insert the hook end of the awl into a hole of the grille (along the edge not in the center)

Pull firmly to raise the grille from its seat

Repeat at multiple positions around the edge of the grille until it pops off

To put the grille back on, press it firmly into place over driver until it is seated and flush
