sub repair

neondriver · 03-11-2007, 08:59 PM

i just got 2 10" jl 10w6 subs, catch is te rubber surround is dry rotted and falling apart. they worked fine, and still work but the cone/surround are seperating. anyone know where i can get it repaired or where to buy a kit to fix it?

speaker exchange did some old advent speakers for the stereo at the house a while back 20 bucks each and they sound great still that was 6 years ago

not sure if doing car audio speakers would be the exact same but if it is than bam there you go

What are these speakers worth? speaker exchange is the only place i can seem to find locally and it will be $100 to repair both. i already have 2 12" subs so these just sit around, id fix them if i knew i could get more than 100 for them.

The surrounds look fine - that foam doesnt have anything to do with the sub surround, its for sealing the sub inverted. Put some grills over the foam part and sell those bitches.

klinda what i thought, they worked great and still work id hooked up. its just that surround that is nasty i can get then fixed and have a total of 117 invested, but that seems kinda high to me for 2 10's een though they are w7's. ive seen the surround kits online for about 20 each..so if im daring i could pay 40 for the kit and fix it myself, but if i screw up.....

you can get sub surround repair kits on ebay for pretty cheap...... check there before you throw them away.

I would give the kits on ebay a try - you cant really mess them up, they are like patches that you put on.

50 bucks each and from what i've been told about car audio subs thats with no guarantee its going to sound as good as it did before the rot happened...and dam thats a lot more than i paid years back. if u decide to toss them to the trash shoot me pm i'll pick em up from you, and take a shot at fixing them. i think i have one of those ebay type kits in the garage i pickedup many moons ago to try to do a set of 10s with

good call, i found the kit i have today it looks real real easy to do, u should pick one up and give it a try

neondriver · 03-21-2007, 08:45 PM

update, i went to the speaker exchange and got 2 surrounds and glue. i did it myself. in the end i was blown away how great they sound, there alot louder than my 2 12" in a band pass box.

pict

i also made a box just for them..its not done yet as you can tell.

Notladstyle · 03-21-2007, 08:53 PM

Looks really nice, you did a good job with the repair.

I hope those mids are in a sealed chamber totally isolated from the subs - else
you are gonna have some blown mids and crappy bass.
