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.
4406, 4412A, L100, L100t3 (3 pair), L1, L7, 4645C, 4660A, 4695B, SR4735 and various DIY JBL Pro loaded systems.
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!!!

- Since I've never attempted this fix ( or needed to ) / can you tell me / how many amperes is your vacuums' motor?Originally Posted by SUPERBEE
- 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.
