Again, I tied my best to make sure that what I was posting was merely an idea that I had been pondering, and certainly nothing even coming close to fact!
That is why I added this;
"(remember! this was all posed as a question and my opinion! I was not stating anything that I can back up as facts!)"


Understood. I meant my question only to be rhetorical, in order to emphasize that all this is speculation. I meant no offense, took none, and was appreciative of the fact that you were merely throwing out possibilities. That's all I'm doing too. I don't know whether the forces applied to the rubber surround have any effect on the sound of the speaker, or not.

P.S. From your recent posts, may I say I envy you your fiancé. She sounds like a great lady. Much happiness to you both.
