To remove the front grate of the speaker grab a metal spudger and go to the back corner of the device where the front panel curves around the device. Insert the spudger and ply apart the corner until clips release from panel. Repeat for the other side of the grate. When all clips are released pull grate off from the front of device
When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but the regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

Use caution when working with the metal spudger, as it can potentially damage your device.
