If there's only a capacitor it's safe to just disconnect the tweeter. If there's a coil as well it's not.

Why not diagnose what the problem actually is before pulling the tweeter and finding the chuff still there.

Remember pulling it too often makes you go blind! LOL

Blind? No. Carpal tunnel? Yes.

If it's physically broken then that's another matter. Why not just replace the horn? Resale would be better that way.

The best material is rigid Type 700 fiberglass boards, but it's not easy to come by. Next best are open cell foam and polyester batts. Fiberglass blankets, as used in home insulation, doesn't work as well, and it fractures easily. I never use it. Rockwool works well.

See if you can nick an old pillow from Mum. Just be sure it's not filled with feathers.

You could leave it in the case, but then it's probably thicker than  you need. My wife also collected pillows, and bowls, and umbrellas, and more shoes than a centipede could make use of.

Polyester toy stuffing worth a try? eBay has plenty.

Bill. Could I pick your brains, please? Is there a straightforward way to work out how much wadding a cab needs, or is it a case of suck it and see? Is it best to allow for the wadding when calculating cab volumes? Thanks.

You can model the effect on the lows in WinISD 0.7 by changing the Qa value. The effect on the mids and highs is fully reached with only an inch or two. Damping does not occupy acoustic volume, so you don't compensate for it.
