More of a repair for dented dust caps in speakers or tweeters themselves than a tweak actually

my son (for obvious reasons) thought this repair up after setting his nice new tweeters face down on the car seat just before letting the dog into the car...works for some dust caps too. being careful that no sharp edges come in contact with anything delicate (you could tape the edge of the pipe or nozzle) use your household vacuum to suck the offending dent out. Ifd your vacuum allows you to controll the amount of suction via a small valve on the hose or attachment (usually for doing drapes)... so much the better. Works way better thhan other suggestions I've seen like tape or (cringe!)glue or (gak)pins.

Lawrence I tried this with the regular vacuum cleaner hose that came with the vacuum and it worked great(with a little persistence)! I was really happy that I didn't have to compromise the integrity of the cone itself.
 
Gary hi. i am also unfortunate enough to have to resort to doing this for my speakers in the past, due to an over exuberant niece who thought it was fun to see what happens when you depress a speakers dust cap. It wasn't perfect, but it was a whole lot better than before the repair. The vacuum cleaner rules :)
