Hi my little sister pushed the dome in on my speakers. 2 finger pressed dents.

I have tried a vaccum and masking tape to try pull it back out but no luck..
The dome is plastic so it would make it alot harder then a fome dome which I have in the middle but thats not dented.. the plastic bit is? Anyone know how I pull the dents out without damaging the speakers

These are them.

is it affecting the sound quality ? you could take the speaker apart and push it out from the other side but if it tears or you put a hole in it the speaker would buzz. Maybe you are better off leaving it alone.

First I need to say I have no idea if this idea would work on a speaker component.It could ruin the speaker.
Having forewarned I would tell you that plastic items respond to heat. If you were to heat this with a hand held hair dryer possibly it would expand back by it self. If not, using a vacuum may pull it out.
Best of luck.
