Speaker Question

[PhatRon]

Hey fellas,
Can anyone tell me what's going on with this speaker? The center is different from the others in this 810 cab. Everything sounds good overall. There is sound coming out of this spk. Thanks.

Somebody or something pushed on the dustcap and crushed it in. It's not a huge deal, as it's still performing it's purpose..keeping dust out of the voice coil.

The center got pushed in.
I don't think this happens from playing it.

Someone maybe was doing a VC rubbing test and did it wrong or got carried away?

Someone's dog got too nosy?

Is this something used that might have come to you this way?

As long as it plays OK you should probably just leave it be.
Trying to pop it back out may cause real damage.

But you might suck out all of the sound!

Everyone knows sound can't travel through a vacuum.
That's why In space they can't hear you scream.

But if sound can't travel through a vacuum, why are vacuum cleaners so noisy?

Thanks for the replies. Just a dust cover makes me feel better. It does sound good. Good to know I can still learn something everyday!
