Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I've actually taken some dome-type tweeters apart...

...and massaged dents out of the dome from the back.

I even once resoldered a broken voice coil lead using a magnifying glass and precision tweezers to twist on a very short hair-like wire to "bridge the gap" on the broken wire. I needed to strip the resin coating from the hair-like voice coil winding wire with a fresh exacto-knife blade and some pretty careful scraping, boy I tell ya! True story. The thing actually works (it's one of a spare pair anyways).

Clearly, I am categorically insane.

The best way to get the dents out of tweeters and mid-domes is to have undented sets and ensure they never get touched, and thus never dented. This is best accomplished by kid and cat proofing your listening room.

If you must have cats and kids share your listening room, what you really need is a divorce and your own bachelor pad or just a mistress with a really good stereo. I prefer the latter but YMMV.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Presto
