SAAB 9-5 Subwoofer Repair (Re - Foam Procedure)

In this video I demonstrate how to repair the subwoofer on a SAAB 9-5, using my 1999 9-5 station wagon as an example. This method should work for all 1997-2002 wagons, and possibly later ones as well. The kit I used came from speakerworks.com, part number SWK65. I am not sponsored by or endorsing that particular product, just sharing that it was the one that I used.
This method should work if the sub is functional, but the foam is perished

Now thats hard job man. But since I have to go thru too I must say thank you for video...

[@sethsaylor760]

Thank you for watching, hopefully this proves helpful when you go about the process. It’s been a bit of time since I’ve done this repair and it still sounds great, I think you’ll be pleased

[@bb_lz9790]

Well done video, thank you very much!!! I just discovered that the subwoofer in my '04 Arc wagon sounds like it needs to be refoamed (kid's car, no report of a problem...).
Is the subwoofer cone paper or plastic? Do you recall which type of adhesive you bought from Speakerworks? Thanks!

[@sethsaylor760]

I believe it is plastic, and the adhesice comes with the kit. Fairly easy job

Hey man, great video. How is the repair holding up 2 years later?

[@sethsaylor760]

So far so good! Still sounds great yet!

Would this also fix a low bass? I turned the bass all the way up but in the front i almost can't hear it.

[@sethsaylor760]

It's possible. But you definintely will not have proper bass if your sub looks like mine did

[@dansmittle8515]

Can’t seem to find a link to what kit you ordered and from whom.

So question: the 4 wires that feed the sub. They are grey, green/black, red/black, and white/black. Which one is right+, right-, left+, left-?

[@sethsaylor760]

I don’t know. Let’s see if anyone else can chime in

Does anyone know this answer yet? Lol
