macmellus Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Probably a simple question to answer. My speaker was farting because the middle dome paper bit had become slightly disattached. It wouldn't glue. I took it off. It sounds fine now. Did I do anything wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think you've taken off the dust cap, is all. I'd give your speakers a good going over; you may be driving them too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You'll probably have lost a bit of treble from having removed the dustcap, but more importantly if it was a non-porous dustcap you may have also reduced the ability of the speaker to cool its voicecoil. My guess is that you're pushing the speaker to its limits at the moment so with continued similar use it's probably going to die at some point.

Phil Starr Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It might simply have been old age, bits of me come off from time to time. If you still have the dust cap then stick it back on again. clean off any dust and stick it with copydex or any other latex based glue. This will restore the air flow over your coil and stop the dust getting in to damage your voice coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
