Hmmm. I wouldn't recommend trying to pry it off or it will likely stip the vinyl finish from the bottom of your speakers. If you can't find a chemical solvent to loosen th adhesive, you may have to resort to using a cable-type saw to work your way through the adhesive.

WD-40 can be effective on difficult adhesives but proceed very cautiously, a few drops at time to avoid soaking the speakers surface more than necessary.

What I would use a heat gun to heat the bass up. This will work better then you mite think.

If you are using a heat gun be very conservative with it. They give off an impressive amount of heat that can burn wood or cause paint to ignite (voice of experience).

I learn almost as much about non-audio-related things here as I do about audio-related things.
