I'm not sure what brought me here - I don't even plan a speaker repair, but watched and listened through the entire video and enjoyed every minute. I just love to see professionals in action. :)

I watch this video some years ago and now I am a professional in repairing speakers . Thanks to this video

Clear and Precise, Being a vintage audio hobbyist myself it was a treat to have watched this video from start to finish. Thank You.

Im even more surprised after the video ended and realised i had watched a whole 49 minute video without even noticing...and yea i dont have a speaker to repair but this dudes professionalism is top notch

One of the best diy videos I've ever seen, not boring, clear instructions, done right by a pro...thanks for sharing.

I have never seen this done before but have friends who have had guitar amp speakers rebuilt and old audiophile speakers re-coned. Very cool process...simple and straightforward. Fascinating to watch.

Absolutely one of the best instructional videos I've seen, and I've seen a LOT over the years. Presentation skills are absolutely top notch!

I watched this video when it came out and I was 3 years old. 9 years later it still brings back memories 😢well done on making something so professional and so memorable.

Excellent communicator! I have watched this demonstration numerous times . . . not only informative, well-instructed, and clear, but the repetition of watching a video multiple times clarifies all questions one may have, plus the repetition reenforces the steps in one's memory thus making the process much easier. One nice thing also is the reference this video provides as one progresses along in actually performing the speaker rebuild. Nice job!

I'm not even interested in this topic and I've watched it all the way through - great video!

[Sunrayman]

Sir, you sound like a professor! No ums, er's, ugh's, like's, just nearly scientific precision with a great teaching method! Too bad I'm so old now, I'd have probably repaired many speakers in my youth!

Wow..this is how an artist rebuilds a classic driver! Notice all the different adhesives that were used as opposed to how some cheap rebuild kits provide one or two glues for the entire job. Best full rebuild I have seen to date. My only critique is that I would have brushed on some liquid flux to all terminals and wire prior to soldering. The artist clearly used flux core solder so it flowed nicely. Great job...all my future speaker rebuild kits will be provided by simplyspeakers.

Thank you so much!
Having a professional to show all the necessary details and specify materials in layman terms is unbelievably generous :)

I remember watching this specific video when I was like 7, i dont know why I found it entertaining, yet I was always interested in speakers and subwoofers when I was younger.

This is not only an instructional video on how to recone a speaker, it is also an instructional video on how to do an instructional video. Nicely done as others have pointed out. Very little wasted time or distractions and everything clearly shown and described.

4 years ago I brought a full recone kit for a JBL D130..
The funny thing, when open the package and looked through all parts, there was toilet raped around the dust cap. 😂
Don't get me wrong, all was perfectly packed and usable.. great!! 👍 One of the best recone kits ever!!!

By far one of the most informative, interesting and well presented tutorials I have seen on YT. Clear, concise, well explained and the finished article looked great!

[rishanranatunga]

You didn't wasted a second of viewer's time. great professional job!

[mauriceaz]

Excellent video. Good to see experts doing their best job!

[applepiede]

It's always great to see (and hear) a pro getting down to the point. No fussin' around, no unnecessary bla bla. Just pure useful information. Thanks! (...to the YouTube algorithm, too).
