zora Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've used Blu-tac in the past and it worked great, plus it left no residue. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 In the refoam kit you get new dustcovers, you just cut out the old dust cover with a razor and install a new one, they also come with the glue for less than $20. +1. If you don't want a full kit, you can buy the glue and dust cap seperately from Parts Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really has no effect on how a driver performs. Unless you are financially super well off; why spend $167 for a new driver? Try the vacuum with a reducer as mentioned. Mine had one perfect sized for the dustcap on a KG 2 that I accidentally pushed in (passive radiator). This worked perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moray james Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 take a sewing straight pin and bend it at right aggles close to the tip (3/16"). Use a good gripping pair of pliers and a fresh straight pin and poke a hole in the dust cap in the centre of the dent. Then use the plyers and the bent pin to get into the hole you just made and leverage the dent back out. When you get it as good as you can seal the hole with a dot of white glue. Short of a new dust cap that's your best bet. hope this is of some use. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have an SC-3 center that is currently out of service. The kids found the speaker in the closet and pushed in the dust caps. I've tried the vacuum trick and could not budge them. There is no sound degredation that I can detect but I would sure like to get the caps back out! Any help would really be appreciated.... Why didn't I think of this before. Telekinesis! WILL them out! Sorry to let this thread go on and on for so long! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randydb Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hold it!!! I want to know what you finally did! Please fill in what you did and how it all worked out. I hate lurking around and then having to post because they didn't tell me the end of the story.[] Randydb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
