How do I fix a dented or pushed in speaker?

On any speaker, it can be easy to accidentally dent or push in the dome of the tweeter, midrange or woofer. In most cases, the dome or dust cap is cosmetic and simply protects the driver from dust, sound quality is generally unaffected.

A common cause for this is accidentally putting pressure on the speaker drivers while moving speakers around the room or during setup.

Fortunately, there is a quick, simple and effective fix for this.

Using a piece of tape, press one end of the tape to the speaker cap or dome and pull the other end away from the speaker. This should fix the issue. For more rigid drivers like midrange or woofers, you may need to use a tape with stronger adhesive.

Note: If pushed too hard or the cap is punctured, it is possible to damage the internal components.
