Oliver Shahery Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Hey guys, My girlfriend Abby got a little angry at me the other night and knowingly indented one of the woofer dust caps on my Klipsch Heresy IV’s. She knew how badly this would bother me and she was right. I’m going crazy. What do I do? Can I unscrew the woofers and indent it out from the inside? I looked online and tried the Q-tip method (super glue + q-tip then pull out) but that didn’t work and left a bit of residue. The vacuum method to me sounds a bit sketch but I’m open to anything. What’s the best way to do this. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmlowz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It appears you already have super glue residue on the dust cap already. You are always going to know it is there. I would order a new woofer from Klipsch. I worked in the Collision Repair Industry for 22 years as a body shop manager specializing in foreign vehicles in Austin Tx. It always amazed what people did to each others vehicles that were in relationships. Consider yourself lucky it was only a Klipsch Woofer. Just my two cents.

OO1 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 @Oliver Shahery take the woofer to a speaker shop and ask them to replace the dust cap of the woofer with a new one , the repair wont even show , and NO be assured ........you dont need to order a new woofer , that 's really very bad advice here , we're only talking of a paper cover with a bead of glue .

Randy I bet he still notices the dust cap being replaced with your advice. Mine was not bad advice Randy which most of your posts are. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It was a joke. I was talking about the dust cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 You should be able to remove the super glue residue with acetone. Practice on a scrap of cardboard to see if it leaves a stain. I don't think it will because it evaporates so quickly. Try the vacuum method. You may improve your chances of success if you dampen the dust cap with some water from a spray bottle. I think rmlowz's advice from his experience was useful. It was certainly something that never would have occurred to me. Listen to the Dear Abbys of the forum. Not just because they're Klipsch Heresy's. First it's the dustcap, then the car. It WILL progress from there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just what it says it is, a dust cover to prevent dust getting inside the voice coil. Irritating I know but hurts nothing being dented in other than appearance. Never seen when front cover is in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I think you should spray paint on her car in big letters..........."She dented my dustcap". 😀 Then, burn all her clothes. Then, burn her car after you break all the windows with a hammer and slit all the tires and seats. Then, tell her you love her and to please never do that again or you'll do something really mean next time. I think you'll be good to go after all that. Oh..........and I can vouch that the vacuum method works well. Must have a canister vac with a hose. Open the vent to reduce draw. Be gentle. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
