How to Properly Refoam your Speakers

[robertholsopple]

I tore down my 1st set last night. I bought a set of nice RE30s over the weekend and the foam was shot. I followed your instructions and they turned out great. I'm waiting on the foam to arrive in the mail. I did decide to shim mine. I hope the rest of the job turns out good. I'm nervous about doing it. I want them to look as good as possible. I keep re watching your videos and others trying to make sure I got it down. After all, I'll only get 1 shot at it and I don't want to ruin any of these vintage woofers. Now I'm divorced I can finally afford some, 😂 Thanks for making all these videos.

Thank you so much for this video! I have a set of 15s I need to refoam and was contemplating on shimming because these have a really tight gap.
And your right, the simply speaker guy is a professional and makes it look so easy, this is my first set I will be attempting.

Just saying - you might want to re-title this video to “How to check for coil rub”; I thought you were going to show us how to refoam woofers.

I've never done a speaker repair in my life and that made total sense. I'm going to try and refoam a 8w3 D4 JL 8". I just got to get some better to measure with besides a carpenters tape. I'm assuming

I refoamed my 1997 VS series using simply speakers video and had no coil rub, that was my first rodeo. I think taking off the dust cap your more likely to mess them up

I did mine with out shining them and the first two set of 12s came out perfect you do have to constantly check when replacing them but I tried to do a set of d9 10s the same why and let's just say it needed shimming and a second kit 👍👌✌️💯🥂🎶 ps still waiting for my dream sub to fall in my lap the stroker lol

What is shiming ? I am new to diy and have cervin vegas they are 100% original but needs new foam thay have been passed down from my dad to me he bought them pretty much when thay came out arount 1994 i think

[mattandkatchristie]

What kind of glue can i buy off Amazon or ebay? I have new foams need glue tho

[jrburch]

So what is coil rub???
Show us what makes the sound?

[edgewound]

Use a tone generator to check for coil rub.

[Guovssohas]

Does having the grille always on vs always off impact the lifespan on these foams? If it's always on then less light and whatnot gets to it? Or is it the same either way, same lifespan?

[ColvinAvianBreadline]

Howdy. Where do you order your voice coil shims from?

[RonRivet]

So is there a place that you place shims in the back? I ordered a foam surround kit for my D7`s.

Hey how do you shim if you don’t want to remove the dust cone have about to do two E 310

[jackland]

I just saw the other video and thought the same thing. He has refoamed 1000 pairs before and makes it look too easy.

[hfehtsq]

i completely reconed my vs150 woofers and i did use the shims but for some reason 1 woofers voicecoil rubbed after the glue dried and i removed the shims. Pissed me off. i will get another kit of course but has that ever happened to you?
i did buy the simply speakers kit too. it is a good kit

[PoAssProductions]

I just picked up some DX-3s at a estates sale. They have been playing the for awhile without the foam. One the duck taped over the foam. If I can get the tape glue off the cone I’ll reform. How can I tell if I have some coil damage?

[BlindMan-ikes]

Can you use rubber surrounds on cv speakers
