Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 23:41 GMT dont put water on them. you should just wipe it off with a rag. chemicals might hurt it if it has a paper cone.

Wednesday, November 09, 2005 - 06:54 GMT DONT USE ARMOR ALL IF YOU HAVE NON RUBBER SURROUNDS, IT WILL EAT THEM OVER TIME. I was told this back when I first got subwoofers and used to armor all the polyproplene cones and didn't believe it but it will turn them grey and they'll eventually disentigrate, just don't do it, use water on a lint free cloth and you should be fine, if you want them shiny buy "wet look" from parts express.

Thursday, November 10, 2005 - 05:48 GMT I change my mind, Six has an even better idea. I also like the idea of frying the thing to peices so the dirt melts off.
