    Has anyone refoamed speakers before?

    I just acquired these Teledyne AR9s and the subs and mids need refoaming.

    It looks pretty straight forward.
    feedback, comments, etc...

    refoaming for the most part is the same as reconing as you need to make sure the voice coil gap remains constant as the glue sets up. For that, you need to remove the dust covers on the cones so you can shim the VC around the pole piece.

    there's a few local shops who can help you for this. I think reconing is tricky...

    I think partsexpress offers this service as well.

    i saw the refoaming kits and they look pretty straight forward. Glue and foam and just working slow. I may give it a shot.

    I have a total of 6 speakers to do this on.

    I also need to repair a set of Bose 901s from the early 70s. There are about 16 speakers between those two cabs :|

    Curious to know how well this works :)
