Using sub without dust cap?

I dont have a dust cap on my treo (still waiting on Treo to send it). I was wondering if it would be alright if I still used it without it? Would it sound different or mess anything up?

Well there is a metal screen type thing there..but I guess dust and crap could still get in there. Thats why its called a dust cap //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/ponder.gif.ec2527b23f1d287b60dcbba54f95edba.gif

Dust caps also pump air through the motor for cooling - you will have significantly reduced power handling.

So what do I do if I cant get ahold of a dust cap? Where can I buy one? Will tape work for temporarily?

And yes but it will look ugly and may damage the cone when removed.
