Is there a cheap refoam loudspeaker kit?
Most are $25 for 2 pieces of foam.
Seems like foam should be 5 cents each.

Isn't this the same type of foam on
some brands dry cleaning hangers?
Anybody found a foam substitute.
Otherwise, another 10 year old loudspeaker into
the trash.

Any glue suggestions???

Thanks,

Dunno what specific foam you're needing BUT........

I've built many a speaker... Stuffed them with everything from builders foam
to hollowfill fibre out of a pillow!

If it's white sorta-hard cotton-wool type stuff it's most probably
hollowfill; You need a drapery store; take them a sample, ask wot they got!
the ladies will look bemused but should help.... A lot of 'specialist'
products are actually common materials dressed up! And priced accordingly!


He is talking about the foam surround rings hence the word "refoam" in the
title. Here in Toronto they sell for few bucks each.
