Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP

Just another good reason NOT to have kids!.....or anyone else's too!

Try blu-tak. It's commonly available in the UK for just a couple of bucks, and in the US it's sold by audio dealers to hold speakers to stands. They usually mark it up to about ... er $20 (snigger).

Seriously, it might work, and it doesn't leave any residue.

You might also try sticky tape or masking tape.

It's so ironic that there was a thread about mixing speakers and kids on agon just a couple of days ago. Having a very active 3 yr old I know all about this stuff. My advice is:

1) separate room for equipment if possible
2) toys are drawn to reflex ports like space debris to a black hole. Plug-em !
3) Leave the grill cloths on so that the drivers aren't visible.
4) Don't leave the grill cloths on as they can quickly be defaced.
5) Try not to get mad .. they didn't mean it.
6) You were once like them. We all were. Except me.
7) One day they'll become brain surgeons and make you proud.
8) er, that's it.

Try the above recommendations first. Worst case, you could remove the woofer, remove the magnet from the woofer and then push the dust cap back from the other side. That is very tricky and it is particularly tough to get the magnet back on right since it must be parallel at the outset before you screw the magnet back on. It takes a while to get that right. I did all that just last weekend for a different reason. Please be sure to call the manufacturer first since your speaker may be different and might require other techniques and tools. I just needed some allen wrenches and a putty knife. Again, be sure you contact someone who knows these speakers before doing this. Good luck.

Considering past history, do you think the children in that family are pre-disposed to that activity?
Just wondering.
