yeah it isn't hard and not a requirement.. They just used a really bottom barrel driver on those that isn't a compression driver.. Good news is they all used the same horn body more or less, the cd1e body was actually preferred over some of the others.. Plus since that's the true "car audio" component, it's generally the pricier part. Anyway even if you unscrew it from the body, the driver is protected.. It's not truly apart, until you take off a few more bolts on the driver itself. So feel free, it's safe I promise.
