I agree

Doesn't matter. His cone is damaged anyway. Was the first thing that leaped out at me when he started.

He doesn't need the brush, and top mounting the foam was wrong anyway. I spent years as a speaker repair technician and used all sorts of tacky acetone based glues. Never used a brush. In fact, brushes lead to messes as soon as the glue gets stringy. Using the tip of the nozzle to smear the glue works fine. The guy just didn't make sure his nozzle was clean when he began.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Dr Circuit gtfo. If you nut in your pants a little,did you not cream in your pants just the same as if nutted a huge load?

Brandon Burris you ok over there bud?

Brandon Burris yeah I thought so

aedan929 I love you.

Brandon Burris you made my day bro! 😂 luv you! 😂❤️

Its a terrible job. You never rest your hand on a cone. In fact, you never put any weight on a cone like that, especially a dinner ceramic. That's a newb approach. No professional does that. Even a novice trainee is not allowed to do that. There are simplified approaches. Besides, this speaker is not a top mounted foam anyway. The edging mounts to the backside, which means this guy just screwed up the speaker's line of travel. Also, the cone is damaged. Its been wrinkled. So the speaker is going to "splat" and be distorted when he ups the power (aside from the alignment issues). Its the first thing that leaped out to me when he started removing the old cone was that the cone was wrinkled. Waste of time re-edging the cone until the cone has been properly re-enforced and the spider needs to be inspected.

@@TheJTcreate As I have been working with loudspeakers re installs / repairs, crossover networks (making my own from winding the coils etc) re 1930s to present your statement is YOUR OWN opinion. As a PROFESSIONAL past AND present, the history of acoustics and equipment from the 1920s on is astonishing in itself. I do agree with you that it is essential in any repair to a loudspeaker that care has to be taken AND a great deal of patience required to get it right. Tools, necessary items AND adhesives etc as required with care and attention to detail. 😶I've NEVER had a problem with using the right diameter ceramic plate to hold the 'foam edging et /edging; in place until the adhesive has dried. It does NOT put weight on the CONE, as the ceramic plate EDGE sits on the EDGE only NOT the entire disc. 👀The centre of the plate is raised OFF the main cone. Ie a pie dish. Lastly, the main cone assembly re the main central voice coil etc should move free of dust and dirt/grit. The two connecting wires to the 'voice coil' should always be unsoldered BEFORE any attempt to remove the cone etc. Restoration on early wireless speaker assemblies with the transformers attached and powered NOT permanent magnet types require a lot more care and attention to then conventional speaker systems. 👀😶

​@@arthurdanielles4784 Ok, Pal! 1930s? Are you saying you are 80 years old? -Or are you trying to tell me that the stuff you have worked on came from that time period? Because, I actually came from a business that was first started in the 1930s and has seen every speaker, and all sorts of generations of technicians come through it. I've worked on all those generations of speakers from Field coil Organ speakers to Bozaks. Yes I will agree those were astonishing times when it came to speakers. But I do not come from home garage operation either. ----> "your statement is YOUR OWN opinion." No, its a fact! You are not the first person to come up with that idea of a ceramic dish and I have had to fix the outcome from people watching those unnecessary premises on KZfaq. Heck you got people putting using small pots to do the same thing. Its unnecessary. ----> ". I do agree with you that it is essential in any repair to a loudspeaker that care has to be taken AND a great deal of patience required to get it right. " Yes and no. If you want to be a pro, yes. But if a Newb is given the right techniques and the right advice, they can do a good enough job and that is my point...Too many misleading videos and advice on youtube. ------> "I've NEVER had a problem with using the right diameter ceramic plate to hold the 'foam edging et /edging; in place until the adhesive has dried. It does NOT put weight on the CONE, as the ceramic plate EDGE sits on the EDGE only NOT the entire disc." If you are putting weight on anything other than the basket, its weight that ends up on the cone/coil assembly.. A paper cone! Which is prone to creasing and warping. Ok! Lets say you are correct. My question is...WHY?? Its completely unnecessary step even for a Newb. I think even you would agree that speaker repairs need to be kept simple stupid. ----> " Restoration on early wireless speaker assemblies with the transformers attached and powered NOT permanent magnet types require a lot more care and attention to then conventional speaker systems" You mean field coil speakers or Electrodyamics. Yes, I've had my share of repairing them. They were heavily favored in old Organs of the 1920s -1940s time period. Those coils required at least a 90-100 VDC charge (Jensens I believe were about 110 vdc) which is why they were not practical in a lot of portable applications But since metallurgy back then prevented people from making smaller size permanent magnets with strong flux, Field coils were a good alternative to keeping down weight. Amazingly we now have Neodymium magnets which have made 18" drivers so light, you can lift them with your pinky finger. Peavy did their Eminence 15" series with those.

@@TheJTcreate Great to see someone wo at least is not part of the throwaway culture that infected so many over the decades. My brother was heavily into early valve radio / wind up Gramophone (78 rpm record units) spring replacements and similar. In the late 70s as a 13 year old, I worked during my school holidays, other times with studies AND I studied electrical engineering + with an ex military engineer👀 I learned self taught future electronics from valve to transistor to IC on. Late 80s I worked for a company building computer systems from soldering 'motherboards' /sorting and mounting components, ICs etc to ultrasonic cleaning to chemical cleaning to building the finish cabinet products for Reuters (int news agency etc) NOTE the late 80s! 👀I collect and have a collection of valve, transistor, IC gear that dates from the late 1930s through. Over the years I've earned from supporting musicians to ie bands re amps and keyboards /speaker assemblies etc. Of course radios etc use OSCILLATORS and guess what SYNTHS use.. 👽My partner of over 20 years is a professional computer programmer for a major logistics company in the UK and who's home pc systems/server systems I built and maintain. I also build home PC systems for family and friends etc Intel, Ryzen systems / upgrades/new etc. No probs there. So yes I still have a lot of years to go and can look back over the previous ones and smile ESPECIALLY when I see so many lazy unfocused, no real aspirations generation we have now.. of kids etc. 😶Before they have time to enjoy the new tech in their hands, one blink of the eyes and its changed again. 🙄My daughters have grown up appreciating what they have and NOT chasing the capitalist spin of must have the latest at all costs.. suffering on the part of the parents etc financially etc. 👍So yes, it is good to see there are still those who are into restoration, repair, regeneration etc 👍BUT sadly I doubt that will be the case in the future as more and more stuff from the last decades is thrown where it should have been from the off; out with the rubbish. Non recyclable plastic trash. Anyone who has seen, heard a solid walnut encased radio system or amp system would never look twice at the plastic garbage churned out certainly over the last decade. 👀

I was wondering whether superglue would work as my part doesn’t come with glue.

How are the speakers holding up now ?

That ASMR though

Yup, Durango!

Thanks!

Ebay

White paper glue is better. Its more flexible. You don't want a glue that is too stiff on the edging and wood glues dry too stiff. You do need stiff glues (or cements) for a speaker, but not for the outer edging. For stiff glues, epoxy or an acetone based cement is the better choice. Those are for the spider and the coil/cone assembly. That's where you want the different parts to move the least. You want them clocked together as one piece. But for the edging, you want flexible glues.

I didn't have an amplifier I could use at a workbench and these were installed into a vehicle. I suppose I could have setup the camera at the vehicle. I just didn't think about it. The speakers still sound great btw. Hmm, I could make a follow-up video, if you want.

Try Amazon?

@@engineglue found them just by google and the speaker's description.

Check out Walmart for form.

Great vedio and thanks for sharing this information.

No just press done in the center if it rubbed you can center before it dries make sure it doesn’t rub when you press down in the center

It's hard to say. Take a look at them and see if it's the foam. Could be the voice coil. See my description for links.

Thanks for the tip. Up until recently none of my videos have been edited. I will do this from now on, though, you're right. :)

lol I should have known better but at least the speaker sounds good.

Because I'm poor. Besides, these are Infinity's and they sound damn good. Also, from experience, replacing stock speakers with aftermarket's usually leads to needing a new head unit and amplifier. I like keeping things stock as much as possible. Especially when the stock speakers sound this good.

I thought the same thing and was waiting for him to tug the surround underneath and glue. I know that's how I'm going to do mine.

He bought it from eBay

I think I paid about $20 for all four.

lol

How do you do know when to do that?

A good place is simply speakers

The foam surround

No other parts of the foam would be rotted to

ebay

It's essentially contact cement.

ascean dude just skip ahead

Contact cement.

If your speaker is too quiet, two things are the problem. Your coil is either burned or your alignment is way off and rubbing against the gap of the magnet. This guy in the video is not really an expert. He is doing things all wrong to his speaker. He doesn't even realize his cone is damaged and wrinkled.

@@TheJTcreate alrighty- thank you so much :) I’ll probably have to take mine to the shop to get it fixed 😀

@@AsgardsValkyrie carefully move your cone up and down 90 degrees. Tell me if it moves, feels like its rubbing against something or feels like dirt is rubbing in the coil. Then get an ohm meter and measure the DC resistance of the coil. What does the meter read. Don't move the cone while measuring.

Depends

TheAstro30 excursion? What do you mean

TheAstro30 I understood that but how do you get a "new excursion"

TheAstro30 the surround that lets it excurd or like it's a separate product

oh ok thanks sorry i was confused but i get it now

BUY/MAKE NEW HOUSING

For small scale, it may be better to replace the speaker.

Oh, yeah, I agree with you. Yet, the speakers sound amazing and are still holding up. Weird, right? If these had been expensive subwoofers, I might have spent more than 10 minutes on them but these were stock speakers from a 20 year old car. lol

Is it a two-way speaker?

@@engineglue no it isnt, its 1 way and idk whats going on

Your head unit has Bass-Mid-Treble adjusment

I busted the amplifier somehow 👀 lmao but thanks !!

@@ary8890 I'm sorry. lol

I agree. I suppose though, if it were substantially misaligned, it would stress the voice coil.

That's true.

----> "I don't agree with the "improper centering" comment in your description. Knowing even a little about speakers, I can tell you that it's the voice coil which needs to be centered, and you're not changing the voice coil, you're changing something that just needs to be glued on somewhat correctly" I was a professionally trained speaker technician as well as JBL certified. Spent years rebuilding all sorts of speakers including this one. Unfortunately, your assumptions are completely wrong. The outer edge works in conjunction with the spider to maintain coil alignment, during the performance of the speaker. While gluing the edge to the cone is not the most critical part of the alignment, tacking it down to the basket is where the alignment will shift. You can't assume the spider will keep the alignment, especially when a speaker is being improperly re-edged as this one. Not to mention, when the cone has been over-stressed and is wrinkled.

ebay has them

The speakers sound great.

It does seem expensive however that is the going price and for me, two of those kits repaired $300 worth of speakers.

engineglue i see thanks, but yea it depends on the price of the speakers, in your case it is 100% worth it. I got to repair a 40$ speaker and im not sure if i want to spend 25$ trying to fix it while I could probably fail

@@softarmor111 Valid. I wish these kits were cheaper.

engineglue I’ve seen the foam replacements go for less than 3 dollars. Problem is that they don’t come with glue and I have no idea what quality they are.

lol omg
