poked a very tiny hole in teh dust cap? My son pushed it in on one side of the dust cap and i have some dental picks that i use to change o-rings and gaskets out at work. . So i basically have a brand new 15" Mag with a dented dust cap and i thought i could poke a tiny hole with teh pick and pull the dent out

Any thoughts?

Is there a screen in the pole vent? You could try and stick a pencil or something up it and push it back up that way.

But doing it your way would make the sub leak air if the hole isnt sealed up.

No, no need to. Just press on the edges of the indent, slowy but surely that indent should pop out.
