Hey all,

The foam surround on my 12w6 has come off a little, is there anything I can do to fix this? Someone I know at an audio store told me that no glue availible in Canada would do the job. plz help :(

Thanks,

Peter

i suggest that if it's a tiny little bit, then to glue it with some silicone. this will let you use it a bit more. it's true that the glue used is very specialized, and hard to come by. but not impossoble. i have a freind that works at a speaker repair shop and he mixes his own glue because he can't find any reliable mixtures. so he has his"ancient chinese secret" so to speak. good luck

This wouldn't be someone at Speaker City would it?

I use contact cement to glue the surrounds when refoaming home audio speakers. Works like a charm!

Contact cement will work like a champ... also any glue that contains methyl-ethyl-ketone... or any other glue with a strong non-polar solvent like toluene... ect. ect.. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks for the help. :D

I have heard that nailpolish remover will "melt" the surround a little. I know people can use it to fix speakers but doing it wrong will most likely mutilate your speakers.

If anything, maybe go to a wrecking yard and scoops some factory speakers and practice on them.

u could even try out ShoeGlue
