It's after the battery method at the bottom of the first page. It's my entry.

[quote user="Leslie"] [quote user="Rich"] Leslie, if you want a DVD of the whole process, PM me your mailing address and I'll send you one. [/quote] That's a nice offer Rich, would you do that for me? [/quote] Leslie, There a some photos of the small drivers being shimmed on this thread after the battery method is illustrated

Hi Leslie, Would you tell us how you liked the fit of the foam surrounds, and which supplier are they from? I haven't found very many places to get surrounds for these odd sized woofers, and fit can be a problem. I'm a shimmer. Listen to Soren. Thanks, Steve

Hi All, I hope it's OK to revive this thread with some additional perspective. I just completed a re-do on one of my C75's woofers. It was rubbing after a refoaming job. (confirmed with the low Hz test tone), so I "faced my fear" and cut the center cap off that bad boy. Fortunately, I was able to cut away the tacky glued outside edge
-
And I've only got one opinion, from Soren, in favor of staying with foam surrounds instead of rubber. Anyone else? Both are available from good_hifi. I liked the fit on the c75 surrounds from them. Those were foam. Good-hifi says other brands installed the S80 type woofers with rubber. Thanks, Steve

See the subtle texture? But is it art?

Above is one typical corner. This is the removed material. It's not very flexible when at room temperature. Some kind of textured moderately thick "plastic" sheeting.

Hi Chris, Well, it's not cheapie vinyl at all. It's tough. It stretches and deforms when pulling it off with heat. Definitely not a melamine type thing. I don't know how these got messed up like they did. All the corners and some edges in front are separated and shrunk and detached. The particle board shows no signs at all of moisture damage

[quote user="tournedos"]If you decided to go the re-vinylling route, you wouldn't of course be limited to wood imitation... there's everything, from lime stone to something Rich's wife would approve [/quote] Hey, I'm a bachelor, so it's decided– glue on some centerfolds and then shellac!
