Can a "pushed in" dome tweeter + midrange be savev

Grilleless Gershman Sonograms were approached by 4-year old. All six speakers were "pushed in". I'm wondering if there is any way to create a suction or something that would return the domes to their original shape. There is a soft dome tweeter but also a Morel domed midrange. The dust caps in the woofers are pushed in somewhat but I don't think it matters.

Bdgregory, I was also making an attempt at humor since Unsound's idea requires sucking. Get it?
now I do, and it's hilarious. I guess I hadn't had enough coffee that morning - it went right by me.

Most soft domes don't require much suction to fix when pushed in, so the cardboard tube idea should work. If not, do what I have done with my Dynaudio tweeters: use your mouth. Not kidding. Just place your lips very gently over the middle area of the tweeter and suck gently. Just make sure to not drool. ;-)

Frogman, that works really well on tweeters, but you might need one of these http://www.rankopedia.com/Famous-Person-Most-Known-for-a-Large-Mouth/Step1/23504/.htm to help with bigger drivers.

No.6 in particular should be very effective. All you would have to do is show the dented woofer a picture of No.6, and it would immediately fix itself, lest those lips get anywhere near it.

Or...it might shrink up and withdraw.
