venaka Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 have had these rb5 for a while and i just accidently dented the driver..very minimal , but it still bothers me to see it.. klipsch said it will cost 60 bucks for a driver replacement..but my question is, will this new driver sound as good as my other old one since its been broken in.. And is it worth spending the 60 bucks or am I OCD. Quote
Bill H. Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 if it is not torn, you should be fine...........save your money put the covers on the speakers and " forget about it".................. Quote
TNRabbit Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Are you talking about a dent in the dust cover? Suck it out with a vacuum cleaner hose... It won't cause any sonic difference. Quote
wuzzzer Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Its 100% cosmetic but if you're really OCD about it contact Michael Colter - he's got RB-5 woofers for $25 @. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/123597.aspx Quote
venaka Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 wow thanks for the reply @ 25$ THAT is a steal and it kills my OCD.. you guys rock Quote
jacksonbart Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Don't forget to wash your hands every 10 minutes. Quote
colterphoto1 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 if you dent or wrinkle the metal cone it will cause a weak point that might eventually worsen and tear with high power use. dust cap- no biggie hit me, I've still got a couple woofies here at that price. shut up JB, unless you have something real to add to the conversation- geesh enough already M Quote
venaka Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 just emailed you ..thanks.. i had to wash my hands first Quote

SJRTX Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 A piece of tape will usually help pull out a dust cap dent, if thats what you have. Quote
