Hey, that is a pretty slick video.
But, has anyone tried the little suction cups that you use to hang things, like a radar detector, from a glass window??

I doubt they'd attach as they need a smooth airtight surface to generate suction. Maybe if you put two-sided tape inside the cups before pressing them on... but at that point you just as well use the tape.

Well, I had to try this tonight--both of my lower midwoofers were poked in. The right speaker came out after a few tries, but no luck with the left one yet. The tape's just not sticking.

Anyone tried this with a Dyson? I don't have a low power vacuum cleaner, other than a really crummy dustbuster...
Other types of tape? We've tried painters, masking, and duct.

Possibly applying some heat, say from a hair dryer, should cause the cone to expand and pop out. I wouldn't think the driver would mind a little heat on it, never tried it myself though.
For tape I would try some house wrap tape, ie. Tyvek tape(red), this is some very sticky tape.

The vacuum worked fine--the cap still has a few bumps in it, but so does the tape one. I suspect I'll have to replace those drivers at some point, but they'll do fine for now.
