I was test fitting one of my 4x6 speakers and somehow I dented the silk dome tweeter.... unfortunately these are $150 speakers.

I don't have them wired up yet, so I am unable to hear/listen to them to determine this... so I bear these ?'s...

1. IS there a way to fix this small dent or is this speaker trashed??

2. IF its not trashed, How much will this hurt the speakers perfomance??

Thanks everyone??

 

The speaker isn't trashed unless the tweeter got punctured (unlikely if it is silk). It probably won't greatly affect the sound output of a $150 speaker either. The dent might pop out due to vibration once you fire the speakers up.

How soft is the tweeter? By playing with it some you might get it to pop back out.

 

wrap a piece of tape around your finger and try and pull it back out.

 

Thats what another TGO member and I were thinking about... hell, if my finger "dented" the speaker then surely w/a little tape it could coax it back out...

...and nope, the silk tweeter isn't punctured
