I squished the cone! AHHH!

I JUST got my new 6.5 Alpine Xs in today, I was hooking them up when a brushed across a wire which pushed my crimpers and they fell directly on my woofer! I pushed the cone in slightly right in the center!

I FEEL LIKE A FRIGGIN IDIOT, Is there anyway to fix this?

Edit: Picture of the damage...

you talking about the **** in the middle? if you can reach it from the side you might be able to pop it back out. i don't think that it really affects anything though. but thats just a guess...

Actually, that's something that's caked into the material, it almost looks like small strands of copper everywhere...

That's a pretty bad one, but like the other guys said; Find a way to stick something to the dent and pull it out, then unstick whatever you used; Duct Tape, a pin with silicon on it, etc.

It should sound fine though, you didn't puncture it right?

a screwdriver through the pole vent works, dont remember if you can do that on the type X's.

anything that will stick to the dust cap works to yank it out too.

Duct tape and Vaccuum FTW!

if all elese fails, take a pin - bend it 90 degrees at the tip. poke a hole thru the center of the dustcap and use the bent part to poke the crinkles up. then use a drop of superglue to seal the tiny hole back up.

and that is a pressed treated paper cone. thats why it looks like it has fibres on it.
