    How to fix your pushed in tweeter (EASY FIX!)

    Grab a roll of duct tape and place the tape over the dent on the tweeter then pull it off slowly and the tweeter should pop back out and be much more presentable than a pushed in tweeter.. If you need more pulling power, try pulling at an angle or heating up the duct tape a little bit with a blow dryer or heat gun once it is on the tweeter. This allows it to stick a little better. I have used this method with several of my speakers and it works very well! Good luck!

      I pulled out an aluminum tweeter on a B&W XTC center channel with a piece of 3m double sided tape.

          I have cut the top off a drinks bottle and sucked the tweeter back out in the past. Just don't let anyone catch you doing it!

              Thanks for the fix.
              But I must say in quite a few years it only happened to me once that the tweeter was pushed in.
              If you don't mind: How comes that you had to use the method several times?

                Like to ask does it damage one? Would it be worth to buy a used speaker cheap sight unseen offline with push in tweeters?

                  I can say that the aluminum tweeters in my Paradigms will dimple if overdriven (clipping).

                    B&W 703 damaged tweeter question???
                    by pdmonty
                    First let me say I'm so glad I found this forum. I am brand new to the world of B&W and am blown away by both the speakers themselves as well as the loyal following they garner.

                    So here's my dilemma...

                    ...I was recently gifted a pair of 703's, a HTM2 center and two...

                    by efarstad
                    You all may remember how my HT room has a register but not a fresh air intake...and how I discussed how to keep the room at a decent temperature especially given the extra heat our new projector throws off. Well, I could just crack the door, the window, etc...but I still wanted to do something...so...

                    B&W 805 with a pushed in tweeter
                    by stringzz
                    Hi there,

                    Does anyone know if a pushed in tweeter would effect sound. Actually, I took the tweeter apart and pushed it back out from behind. Now it looks like a wrinkled alum tweeter, but I got it back to it's original shape as best as possible without ripping it.

                    It is...

                    Tape out's on Rotel RSX-1057
                    by madmac
                    Lately I've been using the tape out's on my Rotel, sending the stereo signal to my headphone amp for all sources. I never really thought about trying the tone controls on the amp, figuring that the tone adjustments would not work through the tape out's but alas.......THEY DO !!.

                    I always...

                    Damping SEAS Tweeter Chamber Cover
                    by Armand
                    Hi all. I know this has been discussed previously, but has anyone actually performed the measurments to test whether or not damping the plastic rear chamber cover helps or hinders the performance of the tweeter? The rear cover has a nasty resonance when tapped.

                    I've read of many DYI'ers...
