Removal of Optimus/Lineaum dipole tweeters


Anyone have any experience in removing these tweeters and/or the accompanying woofers from the Radio Shack Optimus LX-5 and LX-10 speaker systems?
Would like to experiment with these units,but don't want to damage them in doing so.
All advice is appreciated.My thanks in advance.

Thank you Elevick and Ait.Have the LX-10s in pieces.Ceriously considering a switch to the Aurum Cantus 7" drivers.Will be replacing components in the crossover and rewiring.
Two questions:
(1) Would I be better off with "new" cabinets/better built?
(2) Are the tweeters exactly the same on the 5/5ii/10s?
Thanks for the help and advice-in advance,Tom


The cabinet maybe improved but this experiementation is not recommended unless you know how to measure box/driver/crossover properly, YMMV. Take the simple approach, due deligence research at Madisound as recommended and try small upgrades first.

I found re-wiring the 10's to yield nice improvement. Have not had the need to do anything else besides stuffing the cabinet.
La45 is correct from what I know.
If I were really concerned, I would get some dampening sheets and coat the entire inside of the speakers...
It appears that the Aurum Cantus 7" DVC midwoofer may be a perfect mate for the Lineaum.The cossover will be 6db/oct at 5Khz.This will further protact the tweeter and require one element per side.A single cap/tweeter and an inductor for the woofers.I will initially use the same cabinet with added "stuffing".With the 6db rolloff of these woofers,they will be down 12db at 10Khz.
I have a choice to make,as to wiring.I have Omega Mikro ribbon,or some cryo'd 18ga copper/woofer and 22ga silver for the Lineaum?
Any thoughts??
