Dave at Speaker City does great work, he redid the surround on my 10W3. Great guy to deal with, he knows his stuff, and is always willing to help out with crossover/enclosure design. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

Hey Gents,

I spoke with Eli47 and I'll probably swing by when I'm in his neck of the woods. The price quoted per speaker (to fix) could pretty much get me:
1. a new pair (coaxial)
2. a decent used set (components)
3. a good start towards a nice new component set.
I'm probably going with #3. Unless anyone (trustworthy) has a set (unabused) for sale. And it'll be hard to beat GCA for price/warranty. Again, thanks for the help guys.

Timmy, I just did some fun reconing with Infinity ref 552i speakers..pm me if you want and I'll send you some pics.

 

Hey guys,

The repair well...went. No problems. The goop seems to have set up pretty solidly. I let each speaker set (clamped) for about 2.5 days. And the 10 metal screws securing each speaker in the stock locations probably aren't hurting either! Everything sounds fine, if not better.
However, as a suggestion to anyone removing mids: the trim ring (if applicable) is often attached to the (foam/rubber) surround. The screws/bolts/etc. will often lift and SEPARATE these parts from the basket when you try to remove them (the cause of my problem). So use some prudence (a word I rarely get to use).
Thanks for all the help. I'm sure you'll hear from me when my next project requires the help of the Canadian Car Audio Board....

Cheers

 

And goop saves the day..........who would have thunk it

 

I did indeed use pan head # 8 3/4" screws. (And 20 new ones upon reinstallation). I figure between the elements (Ottawa winter/summer extremes) and whatnot, the screws 'bonded' with the plastic and Conaned the trim ring off. Lesson learned: easy does it when removing. Thanks.
