Infinity 10 Inch Foam Speaker Repair Kit FSK-10i (Pair) - High-Quality Replacement for Home Audio & Car Speakers

These were the perfect repair foam pieces for my classic Infinity RSa speakers that I bought in 1980. The original phone suspension had completely rotted away.Disassembling the speaker to remove the woofers was relatively easy. I used a nut driver for the screws holding the woofer in place but then had to pry the speaker off of the surface of the cabinet carefully. I used a small flat blade jeweler screwdriver as a miniature wedge under one edge to get the edge of the speaker frame starting to separate before I could pry it off. You may have to do the same.The company has an excellent video on YouTube describing the process but of course the factory rep makes it look extremely easy.One note about the glue that they supply, you're supposed to squeeze a small amount out of the tube once you open it but they don't really explain why. Apparently a portion of it turns white and thick as it is partially cured. Get a paper towel and continue squeezing until the hardened plug is fully ejected and you get clear fluid glue before starting your job. This was not fully described in the instructions.After scraping away the old foam and gasket material from the speaker frames and polypropylene cones, you are supposed to glue these in place in two separate steps. The factory rep shows you pushing up on the polypropylene cone with one hand while trying to get the inside edge of the new foam to stick to the cone. It is far easier to stuff paper towels underneath the cone to lift it up evenly with this process rather than what the factory representative showed in the video.Using a modest bead of glue exactly as described, as you press down on the phone to mate the parts, invariably a little excess glue squeezes out and then starts to get on your finger. This glue is extremely sticky and now your finger tries to pull the foam away from the cone at the same time you are trying to tamp it down until it grabs permanently. I found it easier to use the handle of the acid brush they supply in the kit to roll along the edge to press the foam to the cone in the initial gluing process. If it started to stick, I was able to clean the brush handle with isopropyl alcohol to continue the process.I got through it okay and gluing the outer surface of the foam was much easier, taking care to use the glue sparingly but with a continuous bead. The cone centering process was pretty much automatic as shown in the video and once you place the two C shaped gaskets over top of the outer edge of the phone and turn the speaker upside down, it all clamps itself to dry overnight .The results for excellent however, despite being a little tricky and I'm thrilled to have my classic speakers playing again .While I was at it, I had to squeeze the female spade connector spring grips on the factory wire clips inside the speaker enclosure to make them grip the tabs on the speaker frames better during reassembly. The tweeters connectors were okay but the woofer connectors were a little bit loose and required some tightening.
