thalamus Member 25 Member For: 19y 7m 12d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 19/12/06 02:12 AM Share Posted 19/12/06 02:12 AM Hi allI am about to attempt my stereo upgrade in my BF SR (had to sell my BA XR6T ute unfortunately:( ) But at least I can fit my 12" in the boot, now that I have a sedan!I have some nice sounding MB Quartz splits for the front, but the centre "bubble" thingie in the cone has been slightly pushed in by my mechanic when he was fixing a door window in my old corolla.Anywho, I can't notice any difference to the sound quality, but wondering if there is a good method of pulling the little "bubble" thingie back into place. I've tried pressing sticky tape onto it, then pulling it out slowly, and I can't access the "bubble" from behind the speaker to push out with a pen (or something similar)Any ideas people?thanks all!

crans Member 275 Member For: 19y 1m 11d Posted 19/12/06 11:50 PM Share Posted 19/12/06 11:50 PM Just be care full when you do it as you dont want to lift the voice coil out to far.Best suck it out and turn the vacum of before removing it from the cone Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31231-speaker-repair/#findComment-478892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
