refoam Infinity speakers woofer question

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi,

I have a pair of Infinity RS625 speakers which the original foam had
cracked on the woofers. I bought a pair of rubber surround and about
to attempt to replace the foam surround.

I noticed the original foam surround is glue underneath the cone.
Since gluing the new surround to the cone seems to be easier to the
top of the cone instead underneath the cone.

My question is: Is it okay to glue the new rubber surround on the top
of the cone instead underneath the cone? Does it matter which sides?

Thank you in advance.

Jack

Thanks, but that web site didn't post instruction on how to refoam the
speakers. That web site advertised their business to refoam speakers
for a fee.
