I just did my Advent speakers they play sweet now thank you guys for the video right on the money .
Cool. Thanks!
Got amazing results! Thank you guys! So happy to find the exact part I need and for a great price and with directions.
So nice to know I can do it myself professionally and much cheaper than a shop charges. Also love the fact I can still hear my emit r's and img woofers. Classic westcoast sound.
I've seen two other different ways to center the voice coil, neither was that easy, and one involved destroying the center dust cap. This is the best tutorial!
Thanks!
This is the correct way . Thanks for posting this video . Great help !
This was a fun & easy project. I found that using the tip of a wire tie with pressure applied made it very easy to secure the outer rim to the metal frame.
nice man now thats what u call a expert way of work
My kit for my Baby-Advent's arrived this morning; raring to get going! Got a kit for my Boston T-1000 Mk. II's a couple of years ago, and they are awesome now!
Like that centering technique
I did this and replaced the caps and resistors and upgraded the wiring and speaker terminals and they sound amazing. Running quad stack
Excellent Video! Everything is well explained and shown in detail.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I texted Sean over Xmas and I'm goin to start a cerwin Vega re-38 rebuild , .I want to use some shims in those 15 inch big guys during replacing the surrounds. I ll be ordering some parts soon. Lynn. In. Ga

Great video, thank you
Very nice
Very good video. Congratulations!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have 2 12" 80 watt guitar speakers not making any sound,where do I locate a kit,love watching you making rebuilding speakers seem so easy
Just ordered this kit. I noticed you attached the surround to the top of the woofer cone. On mine the surround was originally on the bottom of the cone.
My question is does it make a difference which side the surround is glued to?
Instructions say it's fine to glue to top
5:51 - I really don't recommend using the finger tip to smooth out the glue. They are very sticky and one won't be able to wash them off easily in order to handle or install the foam afterwards. I would just say use the brush (which was included in the kit) to smooth out the glue.
Oils you use the small wheel tool for repairing screens on your home? Just roll it around to evenly seat the surround into the glue.
If you're lucky you can peel up the old glue/surround on the basket. Usually I can get most of it off without having to scrape. Also I tend to glue the new surrounds to the front of the cone so I have a good surface to mount on. They sound great and you dont have to remove all the old surround from the back of the cone.
very good! Do you show me how to reapair Speakers Ar?
thanks
hear in south fla, it has been my experience that foam surround will deteriate in 5 years or less. whether its a refoam or new replacement spkr even if the speaker never sees sunlight.
my solution is your product MI-1291 white in color and in a plastic bottle.
i gently smear front and back of foam and haven't had a failure since.
i have used the product on old spkr foam just starting to crack for an ever lasting repair
Didn't these speakers originally have the surround glued to the under side of the cone? I just got a set of New Large Advents and what's left of the foam seems to have been attached to the back side of the cone.
About 75% were made as rear mount. You can repair them to the top of the cone or to the back. We have never heard any difference between the two methods.
Thank you Sir.
Welcome!
Hi thanks a lot for the very helpful video. I wonder if replacing a foam surround with a rubber one would change the driver performances in a perceivable way at listening. I understand rubber sorrounds are almost neverending. Regards, gino
Thanks for the comment. Rubber surrounds are generally too heavy for use on a speaker designed with foam. We recommend using the foam kit to repair the Advent woofers.
@@simplyspeakers Thanks a lot indeed. I will follow the advice. Kind regards, gino
Is the foam 10 inches for both large advent speaker and advent /1 speaker?
Yes, same kit for both models.
I had a problem with one of my Advents ,,it rubbing some after when I got it replaced ,,I ordered them from you guys and I just didn't get it centered as it should of been,,it showed up when I started driving them hard,,just one speaker ,the same as what's in your video
You can redo this one. Email info@simplyspeakers.com. They will send you a link to order a single surround. Thanks!
hi what kind of glue are you using? is it similar to the glue called Bostik in Italy? thank you so much.
MI-3035. See it on our website.
I have some kenwood KL 777 FROM japan the glue around outside is fading away in some places, asking, what would you suggest to fix, these old say 1980 s speakers .say type of glue or product would be best......
Use the MI-3035 repair adhesive. See link here:

thank you
Hi guys I would like to replace foam for rubber on my cerwin vega 8 inch will there be a big difference in the frequency. Only because I want to preserve them
No, the sound will stay original if you do the repair properly.
which kind of glue you are using in order to do the job , thank you
We use the glue that is included with the FSK-10AD foam repair kit. Part # MI-3035. See link here:

This question was already asked, but not answered... New Large Advent woofer surround were originally glued to the back of the cone, but you're gluing them to the front of the cone... Why is that?
We install them to the rear of the cone on models that are designed that way. Ease of repair for the novice is primary reason we made video showing top mount. Advent woofer performance is not affected one way or the other. Most manufacturers (including Advent) use the top mount scheme for most woofers.
Looks like the same speaker I'm my epi a200 speakers. 4 10" woffers
whats the glue you used?
We use our MI-3035 adhesive. It is included with the repair kit. Thanks!
With the right glue and a lot of experience, that could be done in 5 minutes and ready for use.
Completely Wrong. You need to let the glue dry after each step for at least an hour. Overnight is even better. If you attempt to install the speaker back into the cabinet before the glue has completely dried, gravity will cause the cone to dry off center and then your "5 minutes" was for nothing. Also, you need to get ALL the original adhesive off all surfaces and start with CLEAN surfaces, otherwise the glue will not adhere properly and again, a waste of time and material. Bottom line, take the time and do it right. This is NOT a 5 Minute process!
