- Hi sorry about the sound I think I sound strange but I hope it helps you sort your speakers I am planning to sell mine as I am getting some new kef r11’s which I am happy about! If you need anything let me know!
Hi everyone, I have a longer video on how to fix them instead of my bw602 it’s my bw603 but it is the same sort of process! It is just in more detail! czcams.com/video/sTnbhmSeqZY/video.html
Hi there! Can you tell me if the sound is better with the tweeter fixed? Or is just an aesthetically process for looking better? Thanks
Hi Zach, from what I am learning, it seems like I can just buy the replacement tweeter cover to fix my speaker. My son pushed in the tweeter cone. Obviously, I could try and push it back out, but I think I would rather buy the cone replacement. What I want to make sure is that there isn’t anything behind the dome that could be damaged from him pushing in the cone. If there isn’t, then the cover should be all I need.
Hi thank you for your comment behind the foil of the tweeter there is Metal it will be very hard for a child or even an Adult to damage if I was you I will just push it out it doesn’t do anything to the sound, the only reason why I suggest this is because it is hard to line up the new tweeter. Another reason is the tweeter in your other speaker will have been paired for the best sound. You will most likely not notable to you but just something to think about. But if the tweeter is dead then just do it!
Hope this helps!
@@zacktanda1813 thanks
I think I would like to fix them completely before the parts are not available.
I just wanted to make sure the cover will work for the repair - it seems so from your comments and video.
Thanks again
$100 for new one👀😳
“ if you have a steady hand”
"Guys read this". Use packaging tape to pull it out😊
Yes, thats the best Way...,👌👍 i ve also done it...,
and the Result is PERFECT (:
Very helpful thank you!
*If hair dryer is used to soften up the material, do you think all the lumps can be easily removed?*
Lol all that is very nice but a lot easier just to put electrical tape in the middle of the dent and pull straight out.... may take several times but it works.
that dome is made of aluminium. It's not that delicate as you might think. Yes it's delicate in the sense that if you push from outside the dome it will bend but I've replaced two of these 602 tweeter foils and had to apply full of force to get them torn. It's a sheet of aluminium. Just push it back gently with your finger and be careful not to bend the coil otherwise your foil is ruined. The coil is more important than the cap.
I agree they are tough but it is still worth being careful as when they have been pushed in the metal may be weak I think it is called metal fatigue. And I agree it is always good to watch the coil as not only it can be messy with the oil on it, it is the main part of the tweeter and if you damage that a tweeter replacement is needed (just the foil and the coil).
@@zacktanda1813 that "oil" is called ferofluid and is a magnetic oil that stays inside the cavity due to its magnetic properties
@@florinmoldovanu salut, ms uitam la acest video pentru că am și eu problema asta. Crezi că dacă desfac tweeterul și imping cu degetul, rezultatul final va fi un sunet perfect? Sau sunetul este alterat odată cu ridurile alea de pe suprafața aluminiului. Mersi mult
And perhaps some free dental work for the person responsible for pushing them in.
Versucht es erstmal mit dem staubsauger. Ein unterdruck lässt vielleicht die membrane zurückkommen. 👍👍🇩🇪
Use vacuum cleaner to suck the dust cap back
Some times that sucks the coil aswell
Use hair dryer gently heat before you push
I got a pair of 603s and both tweeters are broken. Both were pushed and unlike yours the grey areas have broken apart. Do you think I can somehow restore them?
Yes if you are able to find another part or repair it,
The part may be able to be glued if it is only in 2/3 pieces. Also if you have/ know someone with a 3D printer it may be worth remaking the part in cad. But I think you may just want to find a new tweeters unit replacement if you can’t make/ repair the part, as finding a new original part will be hard as the speakers are around 16 years old and parts are no longer made.
@@zacktanda1813 Alright thanks a lot!
Hi there, how easily does the tweeter fit back on and how the screws go back in the sub part when putting it all back together?
Also, i have the 603 S1s... which i am presuming the series all follow the same general guidence? THANKS!
Hi Adam do you mean putting back in to the speaker or the tweeter on to the magnet?
Also yes the dm s3 set have the same or similar build.
@@zacktanda1813 both please ? :)
Ok give me a couple of hours and I’ll make a follow-up video to show you.
Sorry for the wait there is a new video I have made on my channel. If you have any more questions please ask.
what makes this happen. All of my tweeters look like this. For the cost of these speakers it is disapointing
Well most of the times it is just accidents when people hit the top of it and there is no plastic where the tweeter is so you finger goes through the grill and hits the tweeter. It can also be kids or just dropping them. It can also be picking them up and your hand hits the tweeter. If it just happened for no reason, in very very rare times if the sub is moving out and in and the tweeter is not sealed probably it can be sucked it and pushed out but as I say rare!
@@zacktanda1813 I was a bachelor when it started happening so kids did not do it. It just happened by themselves. I have the cdm 9nt and it happed to the front set, back set but not the center. The center has the least use. I am finally getting around to fixing them.
I hope it goes good on my channel I have a better video showing the repair. I have a some b w speakers and I love them but I did not get new ones as they are now made in China :(. The older b w speakers are still very very good but you need a strong amp on some of them. I am enjoying repair speakers at the moment as it is nice to keep them going. My dad before had floor speakers but has now gone for a simple sound bar and a Samsung tv. I have kef and b w but I have a problem of the bass from the subwoofers going down. But anyway have a good Christmas!!!!
@@zacktanda1813 My CDM 9nt's are 23 years old maybe. I have a Marantz Reciever that seems to do well that is also 23 years old. I have an Earthquake bass on hard wood floors so it fills in the base pretty well. Merry Christmas. I just found a oringinal parts store and bought new tweeters. They have been like that for at least 10 years so decided I was tired of looking at them.
kids are the main culprit - pushing their fingers into the cones - best suck them back out - either with your mouth or a power controlled Vacuum cleaner
does the tweter from 602 and 603 are the same?
Hi and thank you for your question I have dm603 and just tested it and they are! Sadly the lcr60 has a bigger magnet on it so it is not the same. But the dm603 and the dm602 are interchangeable. Hope this helps and any more questions please ask.
@@zacktanda1813 than you very much!
can the dust cap only be replaced
Not really the dust cap is fused to the coil. You can replace the coil and also the dust cap and use the same magnet and faceplate. New replacement coils can be found on eBay. The main problem is that the tweeters are paired at the factory for the best sound. I will only suggest replacing the tweeter coil if the current one is Dead.
@@zacktanda1813 thank you
@@zacktanda1813 hi, do you thing if I replace the coil with another one from another brand of speakers, the same size, it will make a difference? Both aluminium dome tweeters.
Sadly no as it may have different impedance and most likely will not work becomes of this.
Can I use the speakers without the tweeters?
Yes but you will lose The high end sounds.
you sound like ATTICUS ROSS
What a waste of time these speakers have not been looked after id put the grill over to cover up damage or repair with good used parts.
They are fairly damaged but still work fine. The speaker are around 15 years old now they have been moved lots of different time. But the good thing about them is they are fairly easy to fix and to make it better, they still sound good! I made the video to try and show the repair of them. Mainly because some of them are in amazing condition just a minor dent! Also the problem with replacing it is it may not sound the same and they are around £70 or £80!
