How do you guys pull out a flush mounted sub?


Recommended Posts

I have already done it once for the first time, but I used a flathead and did a little damage to the top baffle. Is there trick some of you do to make it easier to remove?

I'll admit, half way through sanding that fiberglass in the rain and cold while I was all itchy I was definitely starting to question why i was doing this haha

I grab the surround and pick it up. It depends on the sub. I'm sure some subs would come apart lifting them this way . Obsidian gas a tall rubber like surround so they are tough enough to lift then that way

That's a great question. Say, In a wall????

Maybe why some make the outter most baffle removable??

Edit- and with 80lb plus drivers, you think man handle, until you pop your butthole out moving them around.

Legit ? For sure.

I flush mounted my last build and it was a pain to get my DC level 2 out so I don't think I'm going to flush mount any more...unless I use a removable top baffle to flush it with, which I don't think in going to. It doesn't make it look that much better to flush mount anyway in my opinion.

Lol, I tried picking out up by the surround, not enough to get a good enough grip on. I would have flipped the box, but had no Allen keys where I was at and was in somewhat of a hurry. I try that next time though.

Just a thought but before mounting the sub put a stong string or something behind the gasket so when its time to pull sub out just pull sting. Kind of like the string/strap behind batteries in remotes.

If it's worth building, it's worth over building.

Put a rag under where you pry up on the sub, to prevent damage to the baffle.

If you still have the gaskets on use those. Just lift up on the gasket to till you can put something underneath then use finger tips for the rest. In a wall the subs is pretty much going to remove itself after a little prying.
