Please log in for more thread options Anyone have any ideas on how to protect my system from a most very clever and unyielding speaker biter aka my one year old son. So far he has focused on the speaker wires directly on the back of the front and surround speakers. He has removed the screen from one of the front speakers and pushed the tweeter in(how do I get it back out?). I did manage to find a safety latch for the cabinet so he cant get at the receiver. I am worried he will ruin the speakers yank out the wires and ground them or worse case have one of the speakers fall on him. Thanks again, CodFather | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options If your speakers will accept them, try dual banana plugs. I doubt he'll be able to unscrew the wires from the plugs so your shorting problem will go away. As for how to make the rest of it child proof, how about giving him a speaker of his own to experiment with and a stern warning that your's are not toys?....Never worked for me either but worth a try. To pull the tweater cone out, try a drinking straw. Really! Suck on one end creating a slight vaccum. Then lightly touch the other to the cone and draw back slowly. Or you can try some wall mounting putty. Use just a pinch and try to make sure it doesn't leave a residue. Good luck.. -- yustr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yustr's Profile: http://www.homeplot.com/member.php?userid=37 View this thread: http://www.homeplot.com/showthread.php?t=59237 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Good luck. I yelled at my one year-old daughter yesterday for the first time about anything, and it was for knocking my speaker over for the second time in a week. I'd hate to put her up for adoption, so I hope we find a better solution. : ) > Anyone have any ideas on how to protect my system from a most very

I had the same problem - must be hormone related. Take a large straw, put one end on the pushed in dome. Suck in lightly while pulling back from the dome with the straw - the dome should pull back with it and pop out. Mike > Good luck.
