Not a proper way to remove the surround with knife or cutter. Professional way should use de-bonder to remove old glues instead.

All you need to do is play music through it while gluing the outside down. The music will center it.

Ich kaufe seit jahren meine sicken bei audiofriends. Wenn ich für andere leute tipps gebe gibts nur Audiofriends, denn nur dort bekommt man auch die sicken die passen. Ich habe viele andere anbieter getestet und wurde immer wieder mit nicht passenden sicken beliefert. Darum bin ich bei Audiofriends gelandet und wurde noch nie entteucht. Ich hatte 1× probleme mit den kleber und habe sofort kostenlose ersatzkleber in hoher stückzahl bekommen. FRED du bist und bleibst der beste anbieter was sicken betrifft. Schön gruß von Ondy & Uwe 😁👍👍👍

I'm surprised nobody said anything about the most obvious problem here. Everybody talks about the glue but what about the bullshit title. Says about fixing invisible holes and speaker surround rubbers but that hole was not invisible. For speaker rubber that's a Grand canyon sized hole

Good morning, thanks for your reply. Your completely right, the wires on the front should be as far as possible in a kind of bow as original. I have found some pictures of the JMlab speakers I got then: refoam.info/jmlab-1.jpg and refoam.info/jmlab-2.jpg. I don't know if I later just pulled the wire gently some more in a bow.

Hi, thanks for the video. I've removed the mounting screws from a TC90K in a KRK 7000 monitor, but the tweeter assembly isn't coming out of the monitor, it's holding firm in its place. Do you have a recommendation for how to get it out?
@audiofriends254Ай бұрын
Good morning, sorry for the late reply. Most times when a speaker is some tight at the baffle I use a screwdriver, but not as maybe suspected between the cabinet and the frame of the speaker. Then the change of damaging the cabinet is great. I use the screwdrivers, most times a small and certain strong one, in a mounting hole of the speaker unit. Then you must be carefully(!) to not slide away against the cone and frame. So I put the end of the screwdriver between my thumb and other fingers, and a kind of lift one side of the speaker. I always take care that the screwdriver is in the mounting hole good under the frame. It might be necessary to push the screwdriver some under the frame in the wood. After replacing you won't see the small spot anymore, and the frame is still well tight on the baffle. All at own risk. Best regards, Fred

There's only ONE reason companies use foam surrounds instead of rubber. FOAM FAILS, and that means you're a return customer - either to replace the surround (with a "correct"one that they'll sell you) or buy a new driver.

Here is a trick that will help with whoever decides to do this. Once the outer layer of glue is applied, and you going to bond the surround o it...play a very low frequency signal through the speaker. The excursion will help to centre the speaker while you lining things up. It doesnt have to be played loud. you just want a low frequency signal so the cone can move up and down. Its this...or remove dust cap and use shims in the inside to keep thing centred. You going to have to replace with a new dust cap.

@audiofriends254 Жыл бұрын
Good afternoon, thanks for your reply. Actually I'm afraid it's best just to keep the foam out of the sun, warmth etc. I know for instance the Focal tweeters in some expensive speakers have a kind of coating on the foam. If I look at a whole other speaker, the 15 inch Tannoy HPD385 woofer it has a coating too, even at midranges etc. About coating of the foam surrounds I doubt very much that this is to keep the foam okay. It's often to make the speaker the last way to perfect measurements in the mearure room. I myself have years ago refoamed a 12 inch Tannoy HPD315 with coating on the roll. I quess it has some function, but the foam surround was total bad anyway. Sorry, with this one I can't really help you. Best regards, Fred.

Hi, Do I have to remove also the papery thing from the metal rim of the speaker ? (the white stuff) ?
@audiofriends254 Жыл бұрын
Good morning, Thanks for your message. The white high density paper rim on the frame has not to be removed. It’s the rim between the mounting of the outer edge of the rubber surround on the frame. Next could be: why? There are different options. I think at least it's part of the design of this Bowers & Wilkens speaker. It may have been used to dampen the resulting resonances of the cone at the outer edge. If it is expected that there will be a relatively large production of certain speakers, manufactures still want to fine-tune them, especially if this can be done in a relatively simple way. That could be possible, I have also seen it with other manufacturers. Best regards, Fred.

@@audiofriends254 Unfortunately I have removed it all, both the papery thing and the sort of silicone ring on top of it. What would you recommend to use in order to restore it?
@audiofriends2549 ай бұрын
Good morning, in my opinion it's for humans not hear able if the white thin paper ring in this case is removed or not. The ring is very thin, not as thick as for instance an 11 inch woofer from Acoustic Research. Further, if you might use it, our SP6 glue is very strong, also on for instance metal. We have tested the glue on different surfaces: www.repairyourspeakers.com/en/glue-brush-fluid/c-3. Also if you use other strong glue to mount the surround, I'm quite sure it has no hear able effect. The rubber surrounds are well designed and will give you the sound you want. Best regards, Fred
