Speaker Gaskets - Cork / Paper
Hi,
I am refoaming an old set of woofers and midranges. I'd like to replace the now disintegrating neoprene foam gaskets (finishing trim ring) with maybe some pressed paper or cork. Trying to find a source for those things is difficult. I'd rather not have to make my own out of cork sheets. I'd like to ask if anybody has a source. I am out of Canada. Drop me a line, I'd like to hear from you. Thanks Fellas. |

You can use either Quakehold or Blu-Tac. These are sort of rubbery, never hardening substances that can be cleaned off anytime you need to do so and make a great air tight seal. |

The reason for foam is described at http://www.roger-russell.com/drivers.htm#vibisolation Aboput the only places that I can think of to get the stuff is an automotive supply house, hardware store, McMaster-Carr, or possibly a car dealer with a well stocked parts department. r -- Nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with DLT tapes. |
