If a car subwoofer is dusty, the dust can enter into the voice coil, make the sound quality suck, it can also make the sub look like crap, so give it a quick clean, it won't take you long. When cleaning a car subwoofer, you have to be extremely careful, as some parts are very delicate and could get damaged if you apply to much pressure.
Instructions:
1)If you car subwoofer has a protective grill placed in front of it, you will need to clean that first. On most subs the grill is made out of metal, if so, get a soft cloth and give it a wipe. Water will not be necessary as it can cause the metal to rust. If the protective grill is made out of a fabric, use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust.
2)Next you will need to clean the driver, so remove the protective grill, it should clip off or be held with screws, if so, then unscrew them using a screwdriver and place them in a safe place.
3)Once the grill is off, get a soft paint brush and remove the dust on the rubber surround, then set your vacuum cleaner on the lowest suction power setting and using the hoover nozzle, suck up any remaining dust.
4)Next you will need to clean the cone, if the cone is made out of paper, don't use water, when cleaning with a soft cloth. If you do, you will weaken the cone. If the car subwoofer cone you want to clean is made out of PVC, a plastic material, then apply some water to a soft cloth and clean the cone, softly, without applying hard pressure. Make sure you are gentle when cleaning a cone that is made from plastic, as it can crack.
