After a few years of using this speaker I am having issues with damage to the Alpair 10 driver. I am sure that most of the damage has come from the grandkids sticking their fingers on the driver. I even caught them running toy cars on them when I was around last.

The driver is completely unusable, so I am going to replace it with another Alpair 10.3. I am also concerned that the bass reflex design is possibly leading to damage too. Dad loves playing music at high volumes through all speakers, including this centre one.

Should I install a port at the back to reduce possible damage?
