to get the midrange out of kind of a hassle. Iirc there was sort of a putty gasket along with the fact that the midrange cutout is fit pretty tight. I removed all screws, then used a needle nose pliers to nudge it out. Putting the new midrange in will be a struggle cause the plate is exactly the size so it’ll have to be shaved down very slightly. Like nanometer slightly 

@woodysticks Before pulling the 3.5 midrange out, know that there aren’t oem replacements currently available.

I know I've talked to Rob and maddiesound alsohas some available. 

Also , how much power do I need? Length of placement apart ,cables ect . Im trying to be very budget friendly.  I listen to all genres of music.

8 to 10 feet apart from tweeters.

3 feet or preferably more from wall behind speaker backs.*
