will that affect sound or performance at all? i just found my DLS components sitting in a box in my mom's garage... with the corner of my head unit resting on top of the dust cap of one of the 6.5's. i guess it's time for a discussion about treating 700 dollar speakers delicately.

It won't effect it. No speech on the treatment either. I have done worse.

hey at least you wernt laughing at something stupid on TV while drilling a P3 into a box and.... well you know the rest. DUst cap dent wont hurt anthing, however if you get some mailing tape(the strong stuff) you can probably rub it on there, wait a minute then pull lightly and eventually work the dent back out for asthetic purposes and peace of mind.

Funny you mention that. My Dewalt drill ate the surround on a Bazooka 12" sub today because of a similar situation :D
Luckily Circuit City pays for anything I fuck up. Lesson learned.

I made the mistake of using soft alum screws for my diamond mids on door pods back in the day.

soft aluminum screws will strip very easily, especially under power, and when that happened, it skipped out and the screw head went into the cone.

Anyone join me on letting lowering springs roll on top of your aluminum cone and dent it to hell?
