VACUUM endeavor ??

[redbenjoe]

other than the gf 777 series--
front grills dont just pop off --right

so- asking if you guys have ever sucked out the dust -
thru the front grills -
and without bending your grills or popping your caps
or tearing your foams or ripping your woofs
?

I once vacuumed the woofers of my Crown 850 to glue a small bit at the side afterwards
I was a newbie back then and would never do that again.

Other than that, I tried vacuuming out the dust through the grills before but it does not work that good.
My suggestion: Take it apart and give it a good clean. It should last for a while .

Definetly stay away from the vacuum. The risk out weighs the reward.

what about using a compressor to blow out the dust?
is that dangerous?

 

[redbenjoe]

ok --thanks for the warnings
-----------------------------------------------------
actually --when the bass is booming --
and the dust balls are all blowing around in there.................

it looks animated and cool

so -- that could be yet another dimension for you custom maker dudes.....
ie --pop some colorful ping-pong balls behind the grills = LOTTO BOX !!!

I would just use a toothbrush (prefferably not your own ) and just brush the speaker, the blow it lightly with your mouth or a can of air.

I have used the cans of compressed air with, and without straw, before with good results. Just be sure to blow pretty much from the side - definitely not straight in.

Speaking of canned air with straws, I was using one and the straw shot off and stabbed through one of the woofers! Poked a hole in it! Didn't really hurt the speaker but, you know.

Holy crap! That would ruin anybody's day.
