turns out this isn’t a good idea with cheap paper dust caps

I have Revel speakers and the cones on those are even stiffer. I tried all the other methods with no success. Saw this...melted an end of a glue stick and it worked first time...Genius!
-
I didn't have a glue stick, but watching your video gave me the idea to try and pull it out with some sticky tape. Took three or four attempts, but it worked a treat. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)

Hello, this worked great, on my Rokit 5 powered speaker, glue stick and my Porter Cable heat gun, low setting. The glue residue easily was removed with heat gun and a Cue Tip. Great Video and idea!

Andrew Jones bookshelf - one of the hardest domes I’ve seen - nothing worked except this. Thank you! A quick tip - use a hair dryer to take the stick off, or the residue. The warm air makes it much easier to pull it off.

This was the only method that was able to somewhat fix my covers. They are fiber caps but if youre careful you can do it without any further damage. I used my big shop vac and they didn't even budge. I found using a hair dryer helped to soften the dome a bit and allowed the hot glue to come off easy after a few slow pulling attempts.

Jake, after trying all the other techniques i seen on here that didnt work I tried the glue stick trick, I worked perfect the 1st time.Thx !!!

Had some Realistic bookshelves 40 yrs ago. Never forget how good they sound for being cheap speakers. Nice little trick on the woofer
-
You saved my day, thank you! Works perfectly with Eton Hexacone Woofer!

Note that a better option is to use a vacuum to suck it out. If it is hard plastic, you can use a hair dryer to soften the plastic.

Wow great job. I'm having same problem but I never try till now since 10 years. I can try this. Thanks
-
I’ve used a heat gun at a distance fanning rapidly, the air expands the dust cap to normal. Works great on tweeters. Careful not to burn the material. Metal capped tweeter work the best.
-
thanks for the tips. My speakers are looking nice again ;-)

I just use a small 4 h.p. vacuum like the ones Sears makes. And attach a small cone shaped suction or a crevice tool. Works every time.
-
this works perfect. Thank you for the vid
-
Yes, approaching little by little the vacuum cleaner hose tip in low power works must of the time.
-
Totally worked! Thank you!
-
Kudos for your video. It gave the reviewers a great idea of how to do it even better by using a vacuum and thereby reducing the drastic risk of damaging the speaker. Well, at least it shows what not to do and using the suction of a vacuum is the winner way to go. Cheers!! =)

Thanks! Works like a treat, ended up with a blackened gluestick though!

My man! Thank you 🙏🏻 saved one of my JBL LSR4328p
