Whizzer cone removal


I've got a pair single driver speakers I've supplemented with a ribbon supertweeter and single cap crossover at 3khz. I'm just wondering about very carefully removing the whizzer and if anybody has tried this and if it worked to positive effect. Thanks!

I have big experience with removing whizzer cone, if you leave WC.,
is impossible to get good result with using Tweeter, All my model
Bache Audio i cut WC  in Tang Bang driver, i tell you based on long
time listening and measuring using RTA system. Dont hesitate, just
get sharp hobby knife and go ahead. The WC-is primitive tweeter
and cannot compare with  update High Quality Tweeter or sypertweeters.
I think WC came from   old professional audio using in Cinemas and came to Home Hi end for folk who liked vintage
I am wondering why some famous  brands using WC
@fourwnds    But to get good sound is not easy, some times you have
to carefully choose the cap crossover, to avoid sound too bright or
dull,
  you have to crossed 7-9k , is best to use High efficiency fostex
sypertweerers ,
@timlum 
I am using this driver in some of my models. Whizzer cone , read my
previous post is the simple piece of paper  and coudnot play tweeter
role
 
@fourwnds  to make shure you do it right , you have to  operate another
tool , like  RTA system  and measuring microphone , it is not break you 
budget, I know you ears is number one , but you can discovery a lot a good helpful things,
