In Reply to: Brothers Kids destroyed speakers, question posted by bullethead on August 6, 2017 at 11:29:50:
...people have with poking in the tweeter dome or the woofer dustcap. While the tweeter looks bad, (are you sure it's destroyed?) it might be possible to pull out the domes. Metal domes are more problematic than a soft dome, but you might try sticking a piece of masking tape on the dent and gently pull to pop out the dent. You could always try the vacuum method. If you have a vac hose with the rotating collar to control air flow, attach the crevice tool and see if that works. It takes a little more skill but if the vac won't pull our the dents, then you'd have to take the tweeter apart, if possible. If it's a ferro fluid treated, then you'd need some replacement fluid when the tweeter is re-assembled. If you can separate the front mounting plate for the tweeter, the dome is frequently attached to it. Flip it over then gently push the dome from behind.
