Can you Patch the Hole in a Speaker?
https://audioroundtable.com/forum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=65538&th=15658#msg_65538
Is there any way I can patch the hole or should I just spend my hard-earned cash to buy a new set?]]>GuitarStrings2011-01-04T00:54:13-00:00Re: Can you Patch the Hole in a Speaker?

Yeah, it probably doesn't make sense to recone the lesser expensive drivers. If it has a pressed basket, it probably makes more sense to just replace the whole driver. In fact, that's probably your only option for most drivers like that.
But there are recone kits available for the more expensive drivers. In my experience, it's best to buy from the manufacturer, not a third-party. The best example I can think of are the JBL Professional Series parts. The recone kits from JBL are genuine replacement parts, and make the driver as-new. Aftermarket stuff is not nearly as good.

For example, I think ordering two new drivers for the MDR-7506 actually exceeds the retail price of the whole unit.]]>Adveser2011-01-05T20:01:52-00:00
