Speaker port turns into Rat nest gateway!

[cha_indian]

Just discovered that my Swan S10 subwoofer is also sheltering a bunch of rats. Unfortunately, the internal wiring is all gone. I managed to repair the wiring and now it is back to normal.

Did anyone block the ports with wire mesh, or any other method is useful?

Hi All,

A pregnant rat somehow found a way to chew through the bottom most cone of the tall boy speaker. Tried all sorts of screw drivers but unable to open it as we need to take the babies out.

This is the worst nightmare . This happened to me once . They went inside and destroyed all crossover wires and wool . mine was a cloth net so they easily broke it . try to use a plastic net port and also the best way is always use a front cover .
