anyone have any ideas on getting the center of a woofer(small dome) to pop back out.??? I think one of my kids got to it. I tried a vac with no luck They still perform very well, but it doesn't look cool to me. Is this little dome just a dust cover for the voice coil?????

Thanks

No luck with a vacuum cleaner? It's worked for me a few times!

A homemade vacuum attachment with a smaller opening might work. Roll up paper or cardboard into a funnel shape such that the new nozzle is a little smaller than the dust cap. The nozzle end needs to be even. Strong tape might also work, but I wouldn't use it on a paper dust cap.

If it's made of paper and the vacuum attachment doesn't work, I would poke a pinhole(s) in the dust cap. Then bend a right angle into a thin piece of wire about 1mm from the tip. Insert the wire into the hole and pull out the dent. Fill the hole(s) with a small drop of epoxy. If you have weak creases in the paper, gently smear a THIN coat of epoxy over the dust cap.

so it is a dust cover? and nothing else? I'm too smart for my on good. I have a pair of Mackie HR824's

I hope you did't make a hole in it. that woul be stupid.

I had done it before it looked ugly. Now what I do is get a small nail or flat head screw dab some adhesive on top of the head and stick it to the dent. you can also use some hot glue,( but use very small amount cus it"ll STICK for good) and gently pullthe dent out.
