Speaker rebuilding

[businessjeff]

Im asking this question for a friend...

He wants to rebuild some speakers of his I guess. I showed him the recone kits, he says thats to much work? Anyways, he just wants to replace the (lack of proper term here) piece that attaches/flexes the outer edge of the cone the housing

You guys know what part i mean?

If so, can you rebuild just that?

Rebuilding in general, anyone ever do one of those recone kits? Thought opinions?

k, thanks.

That's called the 'surround' and it is replaceable on many speakers. I don't know where you/he are but many cities have at least one place that recones/repairs speakers. Alignment is important when doing this.

Eo a google search on "speaker refoaming" and perhaps your city and state.

Here's a link to one I've used. http://classicloudspeakerservices.com/gallery.html
It really depends where you are, if driver shipping costs are a concern.
As Mark mentioned, there may be one closer to you.

You could try one of the kits from New Foam.
