There is no easier or cheaper way to double the life of your speakers. I am a repeat customer, and have nothing but praise for this product. Thanks for being there.
make sure you understand whether you need a flat attach surround or an angle attach surround. all the low budget sellers on ebay will sell you a flat attach surround, while telling you it will fit an angle attach speaker. you cant get a flat attach foam to lay flat on an angle cone.
I used the Mach kit for my Mach 3s. Sounds like new! I also got the 12" for my Pioneer CS-G9900, they also sound new! It is not that hard to refoam speakers, not as hard as I thought.
How about butyl surrounds and mesh dustcaps that don't make contact with the cone? The vintage German and CTS drivers employed these features. The mesh dustcaps aid in preventing linearity problems with the cones. Butyl last long and has better elasticity. Most manufacturers don't use butyl due to the cost of natural rubber so they opt for cheap foam instead. Do you sell these options?
I need an angle-attach for my drivers but can only find the correct size in flat-attach. Does anyone know a trick to get that inside edge to glue down flat on the angle? I read someone used a small kitchen bowl to force it down... but I'm thinking you'll end up with an uneven lumpy looking surround. ?
The adhesive we include with our kits is aggressive enough to do this without clamping. You will need to work the foam down to meet the angle of the cone manually several times and babysit it while the glue cures. It is not as difficult as it sounds. You can do it!
Please advise for right size ... Have a pair of Altec Lansing Model Nine Serious ll , require refoaming on 12 inches woofers and midranges 4 and half ? Look forward to hear from you before ordering, thanks !
See woofer kit # FSK-12Altec and mid range kit # FSk-4.5B. You can also use the search box on the website and enter 'Altec model 9" to see results for the kits. Thanks!
Looking to replace my surrounds on my Boston HD8 and HD5's...would like to know if you offer rubber surrounds v/s foam or if I can do rubber surrounds. Factory was foam but wanna do rubber to last longer, and plus much easier on the eye. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Bought one of your kits. I’m trying to remove the subwoofer and despite removing all the screws the subwoofer is stuck on. Gave a pretty good yank. Any tips to remove? M&K sub. Thanks

I just used one of your surround kits to repair my Cerwin Vega D 5-E's. They work and sound great and the kit was good quality. Thank you so much!

A great solution to an otherwise expensive problem!
What if I glue the around rings in the back of the speaker would it still work
Yes! You can rear mount the surrounds.
Thanks for the great info......Mr. Mackey mmmmm kay.

@@simplyspeakers I know I CAN do it. I just would rather avoid the pain in my ass. Lol
The Kenwood Trio series speakers are angle attach.

These are available in foam only. The new formula is much better and lasts much longer too! See our website.
We have some new surround options in rubber coming soon. Keep an eye on our website for details!
