Removing Top & Bottom Grill of LD Maui 28 G3 For Fixing and Cleaning

The screws are Torx 6 sided stars but I couldn't find the 2 sizes. Here is a link to the screw driver kit I used with the bits www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
Figured I'd share the removal process for one of my LD Systems Maui 28 G3s. I recently bent the speaker grill on the bottom column and wanted to try to fix it. They also needed a good cleaning. I reached out to LD and they advised how to remove the grill and suggested a replacement if it couldn't be fixed. Hope this helps!

Good video man! I have the Maui 28 G3s as well, and this video is really useful to me because i'm a hopeless messy. I'd like, if it is possible, to ask you some questions: during your events, How do you gain stage? I mean, how do you set your trim, master on the mixer and main, sub on the maui 28? How do you deal with the freaking limit light that seems to kick in too early with respect to the maximum headroom this speaker can produce? thank you in advance for you answers and keep up the great work!

[@letitdropent]

Thank you! Glad it could help. I'd like to make another video about gain staging but generally I keep the main and sub knobs at 12 or 3 depending on how loud I need it. I've went to max once at an outdoor event. I live with the limit light, it's ok for it to light up off and on. It's not a limit for clipping but just means the digital limiter plug-in they have built in is in use. The red protect light means you are almost for sure clipping. I usually run my mixer as hot as possible during gain staging so I'm not tempted to creep the volume up louder than intended and run into the protect light. I would see my mixer running red well before the protect light comes on. Hope that helps!

Yo man I’m thinking of getting these to cover most of my events!! I’d love to hear your experience. How many guests do you feel like you can cover? How often if at all, do you feel like you need a bigger system for the events you do?

[@letitdropent]

Yea man thanks for asking, I should do a video going over them in depth. I'd say 150 is pretty reasonable as a limit. Maybe a bit more or less depending on the space. Pretty much any indoor space they have been awesome even up to 5000 square feet. Outside gigs in wider areas are where they kinda fall off I'd say.

@@letitdropent You should definitely make a video review on them! I’m sure a lot of other people would be interested in hearing your experience as well. Oo that’s pretty good man I appreciate it. That’s pretty good for most events that Id do and pretty impressive!
