grill/sub removal JL powerwedge

[89montero 10+ year member]

Hi, I recently bought two JL 12w3s in a sealed JL power wedge box. I want to take the subs out so I can see how they are wired and what kind of voice coils they have. Only problem is I can't get them out. They have grills on them but they have no screws and don't twist or clip off easily and I don't want to start prying on them with a screw driver.

So how do I get them out of the box? They are the original version with the "**** cone".

Sorry for the stupid question but it's my first sub setup and can't figure it out.

only way to get em off it to pull em off. try sticking something in the mesh and pull. pry with a flathead if worse comes to worse.

First off get a dmm so you can figure the "ohms" without taking the subs out. If they are the W3's pull/peel back the rubber gasket rather hard on the sub and the grill should start to pop out.
