Need advise - Speaker ping pong ball problem
« on: July 15, 2013, 12:57:33 PM »


Dummy question for you.... how can I unpop the ping pong ball (tweeter I guess) in my boom audio speaker (rear speaker)?  I guess my wife's coat zipper is the culprit who pushed the ping pong ball. Will unscrewing the cover will give me access to the ping pong ball?  Rather ask before doing something wrong!

Thanks!

You might try a very small suction cup, it won't take much to pop it back out.

Although I've seen speakers run this way for years without much if any sound quality issues.

Good luck with the ping pong popper.

I had the same issue with mine. I took a small piece of scotch tape and cut it into a sliver thin enough to go between the strips of the cover. I used a q-tip and pressed it onto the dented section and gave a little tug . It worked like I knew what I was doing.

Thanks you gentlemen... tried your tricks but did not work for me. I spoke with Snoopy (that's is nick name) at my dealership and he told me that they use a vacum that is not pulling to much to resolve the problem.  I did it with an old shop vac that was not pulling much and it work right away.

Thanks again!
