Superduper said:I saw that japanese procedure but I am quite skeptical about the results beyond just having something installed. Chamois isn't going to be nearly as flexible as the original stuff and the chamois was starched to keep the 1/2 rolled shape. Ever dried a car with a chamois and see what happens to the chamois when it dries? AND it wasn't even starched! The speakers that were refoamed are higher quality speakers than these boombox ones that could take higher power too. I just think that there has got to be a better way using better suited material.
Gluecifer said:Heya Nz Boom! I've used that PVA trick on one of my VZ-3000 speakers (vertical turntable Sharp home stereo) that cracked it's foam when cranking some dub on her a bit too hard. It held perfectly, and still is. I just covered the cracks on the front, but I think if you took the speaker out and put a nice thick coat over the front and back
of the surround it'd last for a LONG time! By rights, if you cover all the weakpoints on both sides it shouldn't begin to crack anywhere else.
Not sure at super high volume though.
Should be a good soloution for foams that are just on their way out but haven't started turning to dust yet.
At least until a better solution is found.
Rock On.
Yes, this is a true point.nz boom said:but this will be a problem in the future for all of us
