Paradigm Titan, Phantom, Esprit, 3se-Mini 6 Inch Foam Speaker Repair Kit FSK-628 (Pair) – Perfect for Home Theater and Audio System Restoration

Overall, this was a solid kit with everything needed for the repair, but not the removal of the old surrounds. For that you'll need solvent and a knife. The kit included two foam surrounds, one acid brush, one tube of rubber cement and instructions with pictures.The included surrounds fit my Paradigm Titan V3 woofers perfectly with no overlap so no cutting or trimming was needed. Once reinstalled into their cabinets they really do work just like new. The original surrounds appeared to have been attached using some type of rubber cement as well so hopefully these will last another twenty years.The preparation for the repair was the most difficult and time consuming part of the job and once the cones and baskets were cleaned up the actual repair itself took mere minutes. If you're looking at getting one of these I'd recommend cleaning up the cone and basket with a razor blade or utility knife first and then removing the remaining glue with acetone or alcohol. Some cone materials may not do well with acetone so be careful! Mine are polystyrene so I was able to clean them with acetone and then remove any residue with 90% Isopropyl alcohol immediately prior to gluing on the surrounds to ensure no oils were left behind from handling. I attached the surrounds to the cone first by drawing a thin bead of glue around the flattened outer edge of the cone and let them sit for one hour. I lifted the outer edge of the surround in sections while applying a larger bead of glue to the basket. I did have to press the outer surround down to the basket several times while it cured using the back of my utility knife as a smooth and flat edge. As it cured it began to pull up a bit at the outermost edge so I had to baby sit them for a couple of minutes before setting them off to dry for about 3 hours. The actual process of gluing the surrounds down took less than 5 minutes per speaker not counting the curing time and prep work. The total work time for both speakers was a bit over an hour with the initial cleaning taking around 20-30 minutes per driver.Included are a picture of the driver with the damaged surround, one of the cleaned and prepped drivers and one of the finished product. There are small bits of glue that seeped out around the cone in a few spots so be careful to use JUST ENOUGH glue to do the job.
