Somehow I managed to dent the this speaker cone. Is there any easy way to pop this back out?

I've tried using tape to pull up on it, not strong enough. I also tried using a shop vac on it but I can't get a good airtight seal around the dent.

I don't want to buy a new component set, I like the way the 6.1's sound. Any ideas?

 

its just the dustcap. I wouldnt even worry about it. can you hear any difference out of it? if not, and its covered so its not an eyesore, id just leave it alone

 

never mind, you tried the tape trick thing. Usually works for me with grey tape.

 

So that is just a dust cap and shouldn't make any difference? I read online about somebody poking a hole into the center and using an L shaped scribe to pop a similar dent out of an aluminum cone speaker. I'm not sure which would be worse, a dent or a hole in the cone.

I'm not sure if it sounds any different, I haven't been able to listen to it yet. Won't be to that point with the car for a few more weeks..

I tried duct tape, it just isn't sticky enough. I'll give it to infinity, the cone is rather durable.

 

At least you weren't as stupid as I was on one of my last cars installing a set of brand new $150 components in the doors I slipped with the screw driver and put it right through the cone . Never even powered up yet. Expensive mistake.

 

id power it up and see if you can even notice it. if its only cosmetic, id just leave it alone
