I usually don't take apart a new driver unless something is wrong. I can say, I've never personally blown a diaphragm. I do buy used stuff. That also has forced me inside of things when needed.
Back when I toured, if something broke, I had to fix it myself. I consider myself, a self appointed field tech. Now, I just dabble in sound with a low budget on a fixed income.
I installed a spare JBL 2453h driver and now the monitor sounds great. Seems a shame to have this lay around as a paper weight. If it is glued, that would lead me to believe it was that way from the factory. That might help explain why the upgrade of my main's horn drivers was needed.
