How To Repair Laquer Speaker


  1. A bandmate decided information technology'd exist a skilful idea to bump something into my cabinet in our do space. That something went direct through the front of my speaker. I'd say the hole is about the size of a quarter. What'southward my all-time bet in repairing that? Could any lite glues work? How much would it cost for a company to repair it?
  2. You could get it reconed, but I never believed in the quality/durability of reconing. Pitiful, but just buy a new one. Said bandmate should offering to pay for the driver, IMO. Stuff happens and I'1000 sure it wasn't on purpose, but he did break your stuff.
  3. Brand your friend pay for it. He bankrupt it.
  4. For a quick fix, if the cone fabric is still in that location, you can smear some silicone sealer (automotive silicone gasket does the job well and it'southward black in color) over both sides of the hole to seal it (front and back). Y'all don't want to lay it on too thick though. Information technology'south a cheap remedy I learnt years ago. It won't last forever, but it volition keep yous going until a replacement can be bought.
    PS. This trick works well on tears in the cone, only information technology is just a band-aid gear up.
  5. A few people have sworn to me the effectiveness of fixing a cigarette cigarette newspaper to the cone with rubber cement like yous get for puncture repairs or copydex

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copydex

    ive had no experience of the effectivness of this, but at least three people accept claimed their speakers take been as good every bit new after and work for ages.

    can anyone ostend this?

  6. :rollno: Don't know about "good as new" only, depending on the size of pigsty, I wouldn't count on information technology other than for a "quick ready" till i could get a recone or replacement driver.
  7. Did your cab not have a grille to protect the speakers against such mishaps?
  8. +1. An ounce of prevention...
    The driver tin exist patched with a bit of business organization carte stock, adhered with contact cement.
  9. Many years back, we would repair tears in cones with paper & clear nail polish (lacquer). They would last indefinitely though bass guitar is probably the virtually enervating on speakers.

    If it'due south a big pigsty & a quality driver, go information technology reconed. There is cipher sub-standard virtually a recone if you utilise the original manufacturers parts. You are basically replacing the wearing parts. Unless the frame is tweaked or the magnet has shifted on the frame, in that location is no reason to replace them.

    I have had many drivers reconed & they all the same work fine.

  10. You can use very minor amount of a rubber based gum like speaker service cement or a flexible cyanoacrylate similar Loctite 410.

    For a paper cone, align the tear, use a pocket-sized corporeality of glue, reinforce with a patch if necessary, a bit wider than the tear, of a fabric like nylon or silk, apply glue on tiptop, let dry to tacky, utilise another layer of glue, etc. Better to use as little glue every bit possible at a time.

  11. Zig Zag or Big Bambu ? :bag:
  12. This stuff works peachy: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=340-076

    I've used it on a number of speakers and never had it come apart.
    Works well if you smear a little around the edges of the tear, use a thin flexible cloth/mesh and and so coat over the top over again (squeamish and sparse).
    I doubt yous'd even be able to hear the difference.
    You won't be able to even run across the repair if you take the speaker out and work on the back.

  13. Heh heh.... dorsum in '66 I poked holes in my speaker cones (Goodmans 15"s) with a screwdriver to brand them distort. :eek:
  14. This. Rubber cement and a piece of panty hose is the sometime R&R repair I know. Worked well. Silk might be stronger.
