Question 1

I think the original material is more foam than rubber.   These may be sturdier, but do they cause sound distortion.?

Accepted Answer

The audio experts say you probably will lose bass response when you switch from foam to rubber.

Question 2

Just received my 10” repair surrounds. not sure what kind of glue to use. can anyone make a recommendation of the glue to buy.

Accepted Answer

Amazon carries several products made specifically for this purpose - look near the bottom of the product listing page for the Bluecell edge surround rings. Contact cement, available at most hardware stores, also works well. I had an open can of contact cement, so that's what I used. Tip - practice aligning the two surfaces, surround and speaker, a few times before applying the glue. When it's time to glue, attach the cone and surround first, then glue and attach the surround to the speaker frame.

Question 3

Does this fit JBL 4408 woofers?

Accepted Answer

Make precise measurements in millimeters. Some speaker repair company websites have good cross references.

Question 4

What can i use to remove old material that is on the cone itself. To prep for new sorounds

Accepted Answer

I also used 91% rubbing alcohol "sparingly" on anything left behind, Q-Tip and wet the Foam still attached to cone "sparingly" until wet and few seconds later the old stuff will come right off with a straight/blunt edge even, let remnants still on frame itself soak a little, then it all came off easily as well. 91% is great, dissipates fast and easily without leaving any traces behind to discolor or break down the cone at all, and used correctly can remove everything you want gone! I was told long ago when we did a lot of speaker repairs and many other repairs/refurbishing, Prep is just as important as install, perfect prep. perfect surface to work with! I say that because I saw a video on a person doing this and he was not worried about any residue or glue lines etc... left behind since it would be covered, Holy Crapple Sticks!
Only one way to get a perfect looking finish, Perfect prep!!!!!!
