Step 11Glue the Dust Caps Back On
Nothing like a job well done. Waiting over night for the glue to dry sucks. What can you do?
Gaze upon the glory of your handiwork. Bask in the knowledge that you will soon have your face melted.
Remove the shims.
The speaker cones should move smoothly in and out. There should be no friction. When you push them down, they should pop back up again. When you use your fingers from behind to push the driver out to its fullest excursion, it should pop back to the center again.
Good work.
Put your speakers back on the bench where they won't be disturbed. Apply glue to both the dust caps and the speaker cones where you cut them off. If you left a flap, they will just fold right over. Now is the last time to make sure there is no dust or debris under the caps.
After applying glue to both sides and flipping the caps over, put a small medicine cup upside down on each cap to hold them place. Place another cup on top of that one with some screws or whatever in it. This will hold the dust cap in place while it drys. Make sure it's lined up well. The dust cap does nothing for the sound but can be an eyesore if it's messed up.
