Having kids is fun, but having speakers without the grill can cause problems. As being a little child the small dust cover that protects the sensitive voice coil that is placed in the middle of the speaker is something interesting for some reason. I have had many speakers pushed in over the past, including one that I did myself accidently when moving it. Lots of people question whether or not it effects sound quality, well the answer is no it does not at all. The only thing that gets affected from a pushed in the speaker cone is the look and of course the resale value. Over the years I have purchased speakers for half the price due to being pushed in and described as damaged on Ebay. With a quick clean and the speaker dust cap cone pushed back out they are good as you knew. This is a cool trick that I learned working at our local car audio shop.
1) Get a piece of strong tape and cut off about 5
cm.
2) Place the sticky side onto the area that is
dented in. Don’t stick it all the way down, leave a little area remaining or
the corner.
3) The tab that you have left over, grab it
gently and pull it towards you. The tape will also push out the speaker cone at
the same time. If that doesn't work entirely, you can use a vacuum cleaner to
suck out the rest of the dented cone on your speaker.
