Hi Superbee,

You might try moisturizing the dented area to make it a little supple first, then affix a Dixie or styrofoam cup to a vacuum cleaner hose, and suck out the dent using the VC's low setting. I did this procedure with one of my 4313B's tweeter and it worked. Hope it works for you, too.

Careful application of vacuum cleaner suction.:D

With the house full of kids and my 2202's at strategic height I have experienced this far too many times....

I have used a needle. The downside is that it leaves a small hole.

I've had success using masking tape,fold it in a circle and lightly push it into the dent then pull out,for harder ones I have used gaffer tape but be careful as it sticks like shit to a blanket.
So add this to the list

I have used duct or gorilla tape on the domes of my 033 tweeters with some success. In the past I used the vacuum cleaner.

YEA!!!!!!!


I used the magic of the vacum and a plastic cup duct taped to the end. It pulled the dent completely and there are no creases.


Thanks all!!!

I am running my Fisher 500C thru them and playing the last My Mourning Jacket CD. With that huge 15 they sound pretty full.

It is a little wierd. I was afraid it would rip the whole cap off.

- Since I've never attempted this fix ( or needed to ) / can you tell me / how many amperes is your vacuums' motor?
- I'm concerned my ShopVac ( 6.5 amps ) may have too much suction for this trick .

- Nice le14a ! BTW .

:)

ps ; I like the idea put forth ( in another thread ? ) of regulating the suction by placing ones' thumb over a hole cut into that added "Dixie"/Drinking-Cup ( taped to the end of the hose ) .

I used the regular hose end on an E120 aluminum cap that my kid whacked playing ball in the Rec Room. I didn't even have to touch it, the suction pulled it just being close.

I also wet down a L100 tweeter dome and used a piece of 1/2" tubing over the center. Worked pretty good.

I used a regular house vac and the seal around my cup wasnt the best so I could use that to govern the suction if I thought it was too much.
