The instructions were spot on and answered all my questions. Getting the old glue off was the hardest part of the job and the most consuming. Thanks for a great product. I have just finished replacing the foam surround on one of my two 11 woofers. The video instructions have been unusually helpful, especially the hints to apply adhesive to the back side of the foam before turning it over and attaching it to the cone. It was also very helpful to see how slowly the adhesive sets up, and to keep turning the speaker and pressing the foam into place until the adhesive holds. Illustrating these techniques, beyond your providing the foams and the adhesive, made a huge difference. Although I think I could have centered the foam better on the cone as you advised, everything worked out. I will get to the second speaker eventually (it still works but only about half of the foam is left intact)THANK YOU so much for giving me back my sound system and for saving the planet just a little bit by allowing me to repair and not replace. Just wanted you to know after purchasing and installing foam for the sub and center of my Paradigm system, speakers sound great again! Thanks for the detailed instructions in getting it done; confident now, that when the Atoms fail in the same fashion, I will be able to put them back right again. Again, my sincere thanks. Having done this a number of times the old way shims, dustcaps, etc… , this kit seemed too easy. It was, and the result is excellent. The amount of time and work saved over doing it the old way, makes it a bargain. I can’t imagine ever replacing surrounds the old way again. In this day and age when VERY few things even meet expectations, to have them so profoundly EXCEEDED is a real treat. Keep up the great work! I just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for an easy speaker repair experience! I utilized the YouTube video to take me step-by-step through the process. The instructions and Youtube video made things very easy to follow. I now have a fully functional 2002 Toyota Avalon subwoofer!! No more sound only in the front, now I can enjoy the whole JBL experience! You all made the process as painless as possible and I actually enjoyed doing it myself! This is just a note of thanks. I ordered a new set of passive radiators for my ESS Heil AMT1-A speakers on Nov 6. You beat Amazon which usually takes longer. I talked to your tech guy first and he was a big help in helping to decide what to get. Thanks again for your great service and keep up the great work! A few days before discovering Simply Speakers I needed replacement surrounds for my Cerwin-Vega AT-12’s. I ordered them from Orange County Speakers in CA. They assured their glue was the best and easy to work with. It turned out to be ordinary contact cement that had no work time…. Much too aggressive and almost cost me my speakers. By that time I had found Simply Speakers, read about your glue, and ordered a tube. I must say I wish I had ordered the kit from you guys to begin with. With your glue I was able to finish installing the surrounds just as your video describes. My Cerwin-Vega’s are up and running again. I will order any future speaker kits and supplies from Simply Speakers! Just wanted to thank the entire staff for a great job on my Snell EII 8 woofer. These speakers are 43 years old and now good as new again. All I can say is that Simply Speakers is the most professional and courteous company with which I have ever done business. Re-installing the woofer was a 5 minute process and the sound was great. Thanks again for a most pleasant experience. I would recommend your company to any audiophile. My father in law gave me his Marantz 15 3 way speaker boxes. I went to repaint the boxes and the foam just fell off. I found you guys and ordered a set. It is absolutely amazing you guys have replacements for speakers built in the 80’s like these. After getting them I put the replacements in as instructed, being an engineer I was a bit skeptical this would work. They fit perfectly, and would you believe the glue provided lasted until I finished the second speaker? They are solid, and you guys are an example of how something should be done. Q: I think I was supposed the get TWO foam edges with my foam replacement kit but I think I only received ONE edge. Try to peel the two edges apart. And we will be glad to take care of it right away. What do I do next? DO NOT glue anything if you are unsure of the fit or sizing. If you GLUE it, you OWN it. Q: I have a JL Audio subwoofer, and I do not know my model. How do I order a repair kit for it? A: A: Measure your speaker. A: Yes we do! If you are purchasing more than one item from us remember to wait and pay for all items together. You can also request a combined invoice. Q: How can I add an item to an order I’ve already paid for? A: Our order management system is highly automated making it difficult for us to change an order after it has been placed. You will need to place a new order in this case. A: We do not mark merchandise values below actual value or mark items as “gifts”. USA and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Q: I would like to order some speaker fabric but I need a size longer than 1 yard (36 x 60 inches). Can Simply Speakers help? A: Yes, we can cut your speaker fabric in 1 yard increments as long as you need it, up to 15 yards (45 feet). The width of the material is always 60 inches (5 feet). Q: What happens if the parts I ordered dont fit? To speed things up please have your order number ready. PLEASE DO NOT GLUE OR INSTALL ANYTHING! Q: I just finished replacing my diaphragm and the horn still does not work. A: You might have a blown fuse, bulb, or defective crossover or component. This would cause the system not to send a signal to the horn. Test the horn by hooking it up directly outside the speaker cabinet at. If it works you will need to test the fuse, bulb or crossover components and repair or replace them as needed. A: Speaker models vary. If your recone kit shims dont fit you can cut them into strips and insert several of the strips evenly around the magnet. You can also substitute our shim stock with thinner material such as business cards or other sturdy pieces of clean paper stock cut into strips. Q: I have decided that I no longer want to repair my speaker myself. Can I just send my parts to Simply Speakers to have them installed? Simply Speakers is Factory Authorized for most major brands.
