I have a pair of Westlake BBSM-8's the 3.5" mid driver has a small tear

longer sells the mids for this model and everyone I have spoken to about
reconing said they can't help with this particular speaker. Does anyone
know of a replacement solution for this situation. Westlake is no help
at all.


Is the cone moving evenly? Does the surround deform when the driver
moves? If not, don't worry about it.

The speaker works and sounds good but I'm worried that there may be some
dampimg of frequencies or some other artifact of the glue spot on the
cone. I used the rubber glue so it would retain flexability but it seems
logical that it would affect the sound somehow.
