Illuminati (33rd Degree)

Cones that have been exposed to sunlight get lighter in color like that. I've seen 'em turn almost white. It doesn't have to be direct sublight either - They'll get lighter even if they're exposed to indirect sunlight long enough, like in a sunroom or in a car. I suspect that's all that has happened, and I wouldn't be concerned if that's all that appears different.

But when in doubt, check it out - there are lots of cheap recones out there that look just like genuine parts but don't measure anywhere close.

Do not apply anything to either cone to change its color. If you do, you risk ruining the driver. It may look better, but it also may measure worse. You can't apply a product to the surface without changing the characteristics of the cone. There's nothing about that cone I want to change, so don't do it.

If the difference in color is bothersome, I might be inclined to expose the darker one to sunlight for a while until its color matches. This is a long process though, so if that's not something you want to do, just take 'em both to a place to see about reconing. They'll probably only have to do one, but it wouldn''t hurt to have them both checked. If you don't know who to trust, call David Miller at Speakerworks. He'll get you fixed up.
