White looks fresh, but OG black is cool too.

Left one looks the best!

 

[blu_fuz]

Refoam that pig and rock the whites for now.

Are those Lasonics? I think the consensus was that the C-100 amp can't handle the ohms..?
But, they do look good!

 

[Dr DER]

Refoam?

 

[blu_fuz]

Install new 8" foam surrounds on the speakers. You can ship them off to places to be fixed too if you don't want to try it.

 

[Dr DER]

Has anyone tried to do this it yet ?

 

[BoomboxLover48]

Refoam?

Dave, Change the surrounds or cone edges. Use cloth edge or rubber surrounds for durability. Foam edges are no more preferred nowadays. They deteriorate sooner or later.

Refoaming a rippled edge paper woofer has been around for 30+ years. Google or youtube, you will find the answer.

WHITE! The lighter colour 'lifts' the whole appearance and helps the box stand out.

 

[Northerner]

I like the white one best, makes it pop

 

[crazygamer]

White ones are matching with box overall color, but black/grey ones aren´t too bad either. I´d choose whites.

If you use black permanent marker then the black ones will look way better to 😉

Although I prefer the white option, I think baddboybill is right with his observations regarding black. The current colour is a wishy-washy, indistinct shade of grey that looks more like faded black. Either way, white ( ) or black will give the BB's appearance an eye catching dimension.

Touching the cone paper with a marker? In my case I won't do that. That is a caveman approach!

The wet paper will slightly stretch depending on the applied pressure.

The dry crispness of the paper will be gone even though most of the solvent used in the ink escape.

An ultra thin layer of black flat paint enough to give that hiding is a much better approach!

^ I felt the same way about black marker, but it seriously works great. You are not in one spot long enough with the tip to allow the paper to even get soft. The marker wicks in so fast you just keep sweeping it. Use a fatter tip, it will make it much easier and maybe a fine tip for tighter areas around the dust cap.


You gotta try it!!!!!

Sharpies evaporate so quickly I wouldn't worry about it.
