    Life is getting in the way. Work, Phillies game, bought a new car, put a radio in my truck. Retiring from work so cleaning out the office. All gear from work where the speakers were located were brought home tonight. Got side tracked on the way home and bought a new SUV. So had to transfer all items from old suv to the new one in the parking lot. Ugh. Still trying to work out with Polk to return the black cabinets. Hoping to have time Sunday. Pics to follow.

    Man. That all sounds terrible. How do you manage to go on?

    Here we go. TO ALL A BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Removed old tweeter. They are on by not very strong magnet and there is double faced taped around the tweeter. I could get not get nylon pry tools behind the faceplate so I carefully used an eye glass screw driver. Once you get under the face plate gently work the faceplate lose.

    Bully!

    The faceplate can be repaired with wood filler then sanded carefully. You'll have to smooth it down very carefully also after sanding. Use 400 grit paper. You may be able to use a black furniture marker to finish it.
    If the phase plug on the tweeter, if that's what it's called, is not disconnected or broken from the tweeter you may want to try precision crazy glue. Does the tweeter sound discolored or distorted? Somehow, you'll need to see if the voice coil got damaged or loose from the ring radiator. If not, $100+ is a bit much in my book.
    If the sound is intact, it's just a cosmetic issue that you can or cannot live with.
