Helpful speaker hint

I hope this is the correct place to add this, I had a Peavey vegas 400 and the center cone had a big "Dent" in the center, did not affect the sound just didnt like the looks, after asking several people if they knew how to get the "Dent" out of my speaker, no one had an idea, well I found that if you have a canister vacuum with a hose just remove the end so that you have a round end and place it against the dented cone, WALLA!! the dent pops right out!! Hope this helps, NO CHARGE

Cool idea. I have always used tape. stick it on and pull back with care.

Take an empty paper towel roll and lightly "break in" one end. Then get that same end slightly moist as to help create a seal. You can then use your mouth to apply suction. By using your mouth, you can be specific in the amount of suction. I used this trick for years and it works great!

Neat, I like this one too.
