You can damage it even if you are careful. As I recall, the chassis shelf and brace (back of cabinet) are such that pulling the speaker strait back is impossible. So you must tilt the speaker back on top or the bottom to clear the shelf. Make minimum movements on the X and Y axis (you have only about 4" of lateral and vert. space before the wooden cone impacts the paper cone).
