Dog pissed on speaker


Any suggestions for how to remove dog piss from speaker, including on paper cone? Klipsch Heresy IV. It still has faint smell, and if I can still smell it must be strong to the dog. Dog has stopped peeing there but I’m still concerned he might again, driven by the smell. And if I get rid of the speakers, who would buy it?

Leave the speaker driver alone.  You will do more harm than good trying to remove the urine. Dog urine is has a significant mineral load.  This will change the Fs of that driver.

If you want to preserve your stereo image, have him urinate on the contralateral driver--all will be good.

 

(Sorry man--couldn't resist.  Seriously, you will probably never hear the urine burden but if it drives you nuts you can recone or replace the driver.)

Klipsch speakers are known to be a bit bright.  Given a dogs high frequency acuity, maybe he was truly pissed off and sought some measure of revenge.
