The foam on the 12inch bass an the foam on the midrange have perished wondering if i could get replacement foams preferably original goodmans ones.
There's a few firms offering these spare parts
Good Hifi speaker rings foam rubber and fabric for more than 3000...
All you need to repair your speakers foam surrounds rubber surrounds...
SOURCE: The 6.5 foam ring
This is a very common problem and I don't know why companies still use foam.
The ring is called the "surround" and the problem is known as "surround rot".
There are 3 fixes.
Replace the entire driver. (most expensive)
Recone the driver (tear out the old cone + surround + spider and glue in a new one using the old basket).
Refoam the surround. (replace just the foam surround).
I know of one location in my hometown (Ottawa Ontario, that does re-foaming and people that do this are few and far between).
If you can find someone to refoam it go that route, failing that do a recone. A recone will last just as long as a new driver.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
