bobbass4k Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 This is about my hi fi speakers but I Couldn't think of a better place for it. I left my speakers (obviously unwisely...) In a room where children are allowed to roam free and wreak havoc, and they have poked the dust caps on the main drivers and the tweeters, the main ones are paper but the tweeters are aluminium. Does this actually affect performance and if it does how can it be rectified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Probably won't work on the aluminium ones, but the paper domes can usually be pulled out using a vacuum cleaner hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 +1 for the vacuum cleaner, make sure it is turned down though. Yes, a dented tweeter will affect performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Blue tack does a good job, and if you're lucky they'll pop straight back without any creases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I used to use masking tape. Wrap some around your finger, sticky side [i][b]out [/b][/i]of course, and you have a wonderfully sticky digit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I did think of vacuum cleaner (my first thought though was a vacuum chamber, that should give assume insight into my thought processes) but do I not risk catching the cone and ripping it or tearing the surround? Double sided sticky tape seems like the best idea, I'll give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Some vacuum cleaners have a "volume" dial, some have an adjustable hole (lessens the suction). Other option is to put a tissue roll with a hole in it on the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
