Anyone ever do this? I'm probably going to revive my old Cerwin Vegas for my home theater.... the foam is shot on mine.... wanted to get a set of Klipsch to replace them, but money won't allow.

Yes, the kit works great. I repaired an old set of Boston Acoustics about 10 years ago. They still sound great. I think the kit from FleaBay was about $20.00 at the time.

The main thing is voice coil alignment. It's not too difficult but you definitely want to use good glue and take your time. Let the curing time be longer than recommended by about 10% for hte glues.

My old Cerwin Vega passive bass is still going strong in the living room still will hit that 4 Hz level.


The upstairs movie room dedicated home theater set of Magnepan speaker, once you listen to them it is hard to go back to box speakers. http://www.magnepan.com/ I have the 12 and 1.7s with center channel CC5.
Truly high end equipment and sound like you have never heard it before. :D

Ordered the kit!
and the caps for my failing Onkyo Receiver... lots of noise on powerup, apparently bad 100uF caps on the hdmi board (documented everywhere on the net)...

Ha! Must be an issue with BA's!! My dad had a couple of OLD BA floor speakers - I think the woofer is 10"? Might be 8". Anyhow, he had them in the house for 15 years, and the foam blew out on them. He said I could keep the speakers if I could repair them. That was probably 15 years ago, maybe more - I think I was in high school when I repaired them. I don't remember there being anything to it. It's easier than a VCG.

Yep, that looks like a fine job and should work for years to come. :thumbup:
