You saved my little boy from having an upset Dad! He'd pushed in the tweeter dome on my Q Acoustic 3090 centre speaker. I just went straight to the mouth suction and it came straight out. Thank you so much.

Brilliant technique lol. It worked. You have made me smile. Thank you. I gently used a cotton bud to move the dent but had crease line. Now to check if its easy to repair a snapped positive speaker terminal on the back of a mission m50 speaker. Thanks again. Great

0:32 It's nearly a hundred years since the cone loudspeaker was invented and this is still not a crime in most countries... The worst part is that you walk into an electronics shop and see new speakers that have been vandalised like that - in some case intentionally, so that the culprit can buy them at a knock-down price.
@quanstanford80685 ай бұрын
Suction by your mouth works sometimes, just make sure the speaker is cleaned. You dont want to breath in any dust. I'd rather simply put a sticky dot of Glue Dots on the tip of my finger, gently press it on the SIDE of the hole and quickly yank/pull it out. It works easily every time for us. We have a electronic and speaker repair shop for a number of years here in Miami.

People do weird things. Some over-eat until they weigh 500 pounds. Others have a compulsion to push in dome tweeters. And ebay sellers say "don't worry, it doesn't affect the sound". I put my speaker grills on whenever company comes over.
@Stelios.Posantzis2 жыл бұрын
If I had not seen that, I would not have believed it. One learns a new thing every day! Most people are unaware of the fact that damaged drivers are repairable (in nearly all cases except catastrophic fire/crushing). So an old tweeter that has a dent like here or an open coil simply gets tossed when it is still repairable (at a price commensurate with the quality of the service rendered and materials used of course).

Magic kiss :-) Had this issue with the center dome of my midrange conus. Tried the straw, no vacuum at all. I did expect that, as that one was a cloth like structure, impregnated. Not a flat surface, no vacuum. Took a deep breath, and more or less drilled a very thin pin through, then turned it onto a good angle with the dome cover and pulled it out. Saved my AR66BX, which got a bit too much attention of our youngest...

ive used a sliver of scotch or masking tape and just pull it straight back quickly...works better and way easier than this straw methode...start with a 5-10mm wide piece of tape gently stick it on using a qtip to push on it a bit to get it to grip...then just pull with one swift move/....voila just like new!

Maybe You can go underneath? And simply use your little finger. You must dissamble the tweeter first. And go over the surface gently using your fingernails to clean any dent. Then it look brand new.
