Those speakers don't look like traditional high-fidelity speakers, in fact they look just ever-so-slightly ghetto, but if they make you happy, nothing else matters. I salute you sir!

Just make sure you use an environmentally conscious adhesive to put it on. You know, lessen your carbon footprint a little more. Click to expand... In any other thread combining the words bicycle inner tube and woofer repair would make no sense. When I read your recommendation, I felt myself nodding my head in agreement. "Of course an inner tube would work". I wouldnt rule out staples either. Or butterfly bandaids. This is restoration of high quality audio. We shouldnt jump to conclusions.

As a handler of many many bicycle inner tubes.....I think it'd have to be the right diameter to work well and there are some small wheel sizes around the 12 inch size for bikes, tractors, etc....but I'd still pop for a refoam kit with the proper glue.

Maybe if he hangs out something will rub off on him. Who knows?

(would not even think to staple them to woofer-IM joking). Click to expand... Special speaker glue is available. It is called speaker glue and is for this purpose. You must remove all the old glue by denaturing it and scraping it all off. You need a new surround, dust cap and factory shims to center the voice coil gap in addition to speaker glue.
