Free P3

[Tenminutestolate 0]

Hey, I got a Free P3 from a freind, only problem is that a chunk of the foam surround was missing. I know it can be replaced, but I don't know where I could get the foam, or where I could take it to get it done. I think it'd be a good project to learn how to do it, but I wanna take it to someplace to get it fixed. How much would it cost to get it fixed, and How much would it cost to fix it myself? And what would be involved in doing it?

Tim.

It was about 2 inches long. Its all gone now, the whole surrounds gotta be replaced, so I figured i'd cut it off.

Now, What would the process be of replacing it? Would I have to pull the entire sub apart? Or Can it be done without yanking it apart? And where Can I find a new surround?

as long as the surround you use allows for hte sub's travel and fits the cone/basket it doesnt matter. Only problem is you said you completely removed the surround already. The optimal way is as follows.

Remove the dust cap

shim the coil with card stock

remove the surround

remove any left over surround as best as posisble and prep the basket with sand paper

glue the new surround back on being carful it is centered and even

remove the shims when the glue is cured

new dust cap or reglue the old dust cap.
