check Amazon for replacement speaker foam kits. Just type in your speaker model followed by repair kit and some should pop up. I replaced my infinity foam a few weeks back with no problems.
Check to see if the speaker foam surrounds have disintegrated on your subwoofer. I bet it is. If so the speaker will sound like it is distorting or vibrating. Electrically it should be fine. My 2000 Avalon has this same problem with the 8" JBL subwoofer. It is a common problem and an easy fix. Go online to ebay or Amazon and purchase a speaker foam surround replacement kit (Ranges from $18.00 to $25). Youtube also has "How To" videos on how to repair this on your own. I just ordered my foam kit and awaiting the parts. Here is one for $23 but you can shop around for other deals.
if your foam has cracked then u must of had your speakers for awhile because it is called dry rotting it should only take about 1 day or less thankyoufor using fixya
I'm sorry, but glue will not fix this problem. When the rubber or foam edge of a speaker breaks down or deteriorates because of age, it becomes almost like dust, which is why it cracks and then breaks apart and falls away from the speaker. The only way to fix it (besides replacing the speaker) is to replace the edge, or "surround". At this link, http://www.simplyspeakers.com/All-Foam-Kits_c_118-1-3.html, you will find a kit that you can buy to repair your speaker for about $30. The standard 12" repair kit will work if you have an 'angle cone edge attach' type speaker (see the bottom of the page for a picture of what this means). This page, http://www.simplyspeakers.com/speaker-repair-foam-edge-replacement-instructions.html, will show you step by step how to use the kit to repair your speaker.
Good luck, and please remember to rate my help.
Thank you for the opportunity to help you.
Hello, The foam is molded, you can not remold / repair If it is a small tear you can repair with a bit of rubber cement. Eventuly it will fail and more will tear causing the sub to sound very bad
this foam gave nothing to do with sub, it was there to cancell echo from casing, if speaker, regardless which, is gone bad, there is no repair for it. it need to be replced.
in your case, if sponge is gone, most probably membrane deteriorate and go off the coil as well, you cannot fix that unfortunately.
if you find my advice helpful, please do not hesitate to give me your vote.
wow i won't throw them away or anything like that. You can always go down to your local JL Audio dealer to see how much to refoam the subs. Lot cheaper then buy new ones..... That's the way i would go.. Hope this was helpfull
