'dimple' tweeter fix

Voice coil assembly can be dis-assembled from the back of the tweeter - VERY carefully these are fragile parts. You can then access the dome from the back and push it back into shape- if they have been sitting with dimples for a long time creases may have developed - and they can be very hard to get rid of - sometimes impossible.

Above only of course if your "smooching" suggested above fails to elicit the correct results :-)

Good luck

It seems the first questions should be - is it audible?

If only one was dented, is there any sonic difference between it and the undamaged tweeter.

I used the bent (L shaped) straight pin once with a fabric dome tweeter, then applied a speck of glue over the tiny hole. But I've not had any success with the suction method. Perhaps I was being overly cautious.

I have a small dent in a stiff paper cone (Fostex) that I can't remove with mild suction. But I don't hear any difference from the other channel so I live with it.

I have repaired hundreds of speakers, Peters suggestion is the only tried and true method.

Please post pics if you decide to go with the direct-lips-on-tweeter procedure. Of the process, not the result. I promise not to post them on youtube.

Please don't !!!!!!
