I'm not sure what brought me here - I don't even plan a speaker repair, but watched and listened through the entire video and enjoyed every minute. I just love to see professionals in action. :)
me too :)
and me too, top notch
mee tooo
# me too
same here ;-)
Thank you so much!
Having a professional to show all the necessary details and specify materials in layman terms is unbelievably generous :)
I watch this video some years ago and now I am a professional in repairing speakers . Thanks to this video
Nice. Thanks!
4 years ago I brought a full recone kit for a JBL D130..
The funny thing, when open the package and looked through all parts, there was toilet raped around the dust cap. 😂
Don't get me wrong, all was perfectly packed and usable.. great!! 👍 One of the best recone kits ever!!!
We wrap the aluminum dust caps in several layers of soft tissue paper to protect them in transit. Thanks!
Clear and Precise, Being a vintage audio hobbyist myself it was a treat to have watched this video from start to finish. Thank You.
Same!
One of the best diy videos I've ever seen, not boring, clear instructions, done right by a pro...thanks for sharing.
I have never seen this done before but have friends who have had guitar amp speakers rebuilt and old audiophile speakers re-coned. Very cool process...simple and straightforward. Fascinating to watch.
I just bought a repair kit for my 10w6v2 d4 and saw this video after watching the one for my speaker. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, even tho I am not in need of it, and I learned everything that I wondered about speakers when I was a teenager.
Thank you filling a need that I did not know that I was missing. Very Satisfying.
I'm not even interested in this topic and I've watched it all the way through - great video!
For me, it's a TIMELESS video ! thank you so much for your great work 🙏🙏🙏
I purchased a kit from Simply Speakers to recone an old speaker with a spider that separated. I am impressed with the care for detail and thorough + clear explanations found in this video. Having watched this helpful video I feel much more confident doing my first ever recone job!
Excellent video. Good to see experts doing their best job!
Absolutely one of the best instructional videos I've seen, and I've seen a LOT over the years. Presentation skills are absolutely top notch!
Thank you!

@@simplyspeakers what's also VERY will done (that is easily overlooked) is the guy on the camera, obviously a professional, which is very rare, most instructional vids have the info but it's not well captured by the video so it's hard to see what's really going on, undermining the very reason for the vid. Refreshing to see this level of professionalism.
Could not agree more, brilliant and so calming, thanks.
Im even more surprised after the video ended and realised i had watched a whole 49 minute video without even noticing...and yea i dont have a speaker to repair but this dudes professionalism is top notch
Thanks!
Excellent communicator! I have watched this demonstration numerous times . . . not only informative, well-instructed, and clear, but the repetition of watching a video multiple times clarifies all questions one may have, plus the repetition reenforces the steps in one's memory thus making the process much easier. One nice thing also is the reference this video provides as one progresses along in actually performing the speaker rebuild. Nice job!
***** Thanks so much. We really appreciate the feedback!

LOL . . . I guess it got the point across and served a purpose

By far one of the most informative, interesting and well presented tutorials I have seen on YT. Clear, concise, well explained and the finished article looked great!
Thanks so much for the compliment!
Very interesting. I've never seen this done before but was captivated throughout the entire tutorial. Thanks. He did a great job explaining this.
perfect super hands .and super teacher i liked so much his sens of humour and self confidence . thanx a lot i ve learned how to do it i could even bring back to life my old radio speakers of antiquity .
I watched this video when it came out and I was 3 years old. 9 years later it still brings back memories 😢well done on making something so professional and so memorable.
Loved watching this and I have always wondered how they got the coil to centre as I tried doing this in my teens to a big but not so good quality speaker and it did work but rubbed a little against the magnet. The Americans are so enthusiastic when they work and its sincere as I lived and worked in Dallas for 2 years. great video.
Thank you. I've done foam many times, but getting ready to do my first recone. This is really helpful! Nice work.
Always loved speakers! This was THE BEST and most insightful video I have ever watched on youtube. Sir, you are a great presenter and made it enjoyable and totally informative. 5 stars :0)
I remember doing this recone job 40 years ago on a 12 inch speaker I was using to play guitar. You know, playing guitar at high volume and bass is the easiest way to damage the voice coil ! Use of shim to place voice coil accurately -- this the new lesson I learned from this video.
Now that's an amazing video!!! I am a true JBL lover and glad to see that these babies can be restored. Getting mine packed and ready for your restoring....Thanks.
I like the way this dude explains and talks in general... so conscise and clear : )
Great tutorial. It's nice to see this type of audio repair is still being done in this disposable age.
A really fascinating watch, as I always wondered about how the spider and cone are attached to the coil durnig assembly. This video shows that really well and takes enough time to go through everything clearly. I wish there were more in-depth videos like this.
Dude, I simply admire your professionalism. Well done!
Sir, you sound like a professor! No ums, er's, ugh's ,like's, just nearly scientific precision with a great teaching method! Too bad I'm so old now, I'd have probably repaired many speakers in my youth!
Your product I ordered (MI-3035, MI-2000, and MI-1291F) was excellent and the demo was very informative! I made a small turntable out of some scrap stuff I had lying around and it made it a little easier, but got to say hats off to a steady hand and meticulous planning and clear explanation. Cheers, from SoCal
Great minds thinking alike...I used our lazy-susan from the dinning table 🍺
You're good at what you do & make it look easy. Thanks for the instruction & points where extra caution is needed.
Awesome video explanation.. Now I feel comfortable to do a reconing myself whenever needed..
Brilliant! Had something similiar to these speakers in our PA system a few decades ago! Had several reconed; it is great and interesting to see how it is actually done! Thanks!
Dude that's wonderful work you have done.
This video came up on a suggested playlist. I have never wanted to do a speaker repair but out of boredom I clicked on it. So glad I did.
It was so entertaining, professional and educational I watched it twice. Thankyou for the upload.
Extremely helpful. Even this old dog learned a new trick!
This company is a Jewel.
Excellent customer service and very complete kits for your speakers. Saves a bundle over buying new. And on older classic speakers the upgrade alone is worth it if they are raggedy or worn. Excellent easy to follow videos. Thanks guys!
Thank you!
Very informative. I've always wanted to know how it was done. Had a friend who had his bass cabinet speakers repaired. I never realized how simple it was. Nice job on the video.
Wow..this is how an artist rebuilds a classic driver! Notice all the different adhesives that were used as opposed to how some cheap rebuild kits provide one or two glues for the entire job. Best full rebuild I have seen to date. My only critique is that I would have brushed on some liquid flux to all terminals and wire prior to soldering. The artist clearly used flux core solder so it flowed nicely. Great job...all my future speaker rebuild kits will be provided by simplyspeakers.
It's always great to see (and hear) a pro getting down to the point. No fussin' around, no unnecessary bla bla. Just pure useful information. Thanks! (...to the RUclips algorithm, too).
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very detailed and no speeding up with blaring crappy music, I'm impressed!
Epic video! Straight to the point and very well explained!
This is not only an instructional video on how to recone a speaker, it is also an instructional video on how to do an instructional video. Nicely done as others have pointed out. Very little wasted time or distractions and everything clearly shown and described.
Thanks!
You didn't wasted a second of viewer's time. great professional job!
I used to love audio equipment when I was a kid,I used to get both High Fidelity and Stereo Review back in the 80s and still have some of the old issues left in storage.This would have been a dream job for me in high school.
Man, you're an exceptionally excellent instructor that even a stupid pupil would have no excuse to give. You're awesome! Thank you
Thank you too!
Sweet! I've repaired antique speakers. A little different since I try to keep the sound as original as possible, but I'm about to repair a dozen newer speakers I have.
Another great video. I wish more of the others who make these style videos had your gift of video production and narrative skill.
he is such a professionalist in this, what he is doing!
I had to watch entire video.
Thank you!
Great video and direction from start to finish you have a skill many would love to have.
Magic video. Like a gentle free flowing river. Both work and speech sync so........o well. It just takes you with it. Hypnotic. What to say man!
Thanks for the help. I have a Cerwin Vega that has been blown for 15 years. I finally took out the 12" to see WTF was wrong, and see if I could fix it. Since I know very little about speaker repair, I watched your video. The spider came unglued, so I mixed some epoxy glue and glued it. It sounds great! I wish I would have known this 15 years ago. Thanks again!
Wow this guy taught me how to recone speaker which I had no idea of and now i have done so many recone job professionally.
"Make it look like you know what you're doing." LMFAO! This speaker makeover is not this dude's first rodeo. What a master craftsman and presenter!
The Bob Ross of speaker repair.
Professional in every move and thought. But the way he explained it kinda made me nervous. After the video I felt like I had too much coffee. Bob Ross on the other side, he had calm and soothing voice.
Place your happy little voice coil in the basket slot....
молодец
I was wondering what would be equivalent of "Beating the devil out of it" in regards of speaker repair.
U did not just say that.. cuz just when I was watching this..I thought that... lmao...
Man.... Love this.... This guy is a PRO and a Master of his work !
These guys have worked on my JBL s. They are top notch. My stereo sounds great thanks to them.
Wow - this was fun to watch. Probably because I have no need to do this myself.
You can read "how to" instructions all day long on how to recone speakers, and I gaurantee, you wont get all the info that this video presented. You guys really did a great job on this. I was sketchy about the possibility of reconing my own 15" drivers before, and I have two 2220's , an E140, and an RCF 12" out of my EAW subs that all need attention, and after watching this, I'm going to do just fine. All those anoyying little "well what do i do thens" were all answered here. GREAT video!
No Carlos mi compadre de Venezuela!! Its the time he takes talking, that gets you all those petty details down 'pat, and that make the difference between Knowing you are doing it Right, and chancing doing it Wrong. The cone for my project was a hundred bucks, and that's a bit much for me to chance going wrong, in my book. My EAW branded RCF twelve inch subwoofer driver came out GREAT, and I've got these guys to thank for it. I bought the cone at another vendor, and the adhesives from Simply Speakers, and ya know, they Still emailed me helpful info on my project to make it come out PERFECT....That's customer service!, and too many business' DON'T care, but these guys sure do. All my future cones--I'm going to check Simply Speakers First!

My brother asked me to re cone some subwoofers so this is super helpful, I feel like I can do it so thanks
came to learn how to replace the foam ring, learned how to rebuild a whole speaker. great vid. well explained
a pro at work nice work mate
great video thank you for posting
Satisfying to watch and to learn how a speaker functions. Great video!
this guy is so clear and careful. good instructor
thank you we learned a lot
I've always wondered, this should be really cool.
I checked out this just out of curiosity. I have say this is a excellent video. Very clear and concise. I built my own Philips speakers back in the late 70' s. Still working today. Thank you for sharing. Canada.
Great to hear!
Yours is one of the longest videos that I have watched, and I would certainly watch it again.
Great video! Thanks alot! Keep up the nice work!
Thank you!
Nice clean work I really appreciate and I am quite impressed well done Sir
Thank you!
This has to be the most positive way to reduce the number of blown speakers ending up in landfill as well as saving on the cost of replacing damaged ones. You make the restoration look like child's play.
Cheers for this video. :-)
Perfect! Fast! Didactic! Cool! Fantastic!
I've worked on this for 20 years and almost cried watching this video. Congratulations!
Save James Bullough Lansing!
Thank you!
Honestly the person who invented The first ever speaker was a genius
You do a damn good job.
Thanks!
Just ordered a set for our JBL 2121H. I'm actually excited to do this! Thanks for the video and tech support Sean!
Absolutely flawless. Like an artist! Wow!!
My Father was design engineer for JBL. Oh those drivers I was exposed to as a kid.
thanks for making this video
vintage stereo 👍👍📹👏👏
Very thorough and informative,particularly the different adhesives involved.An hour well spent.
Great tutorial...!! I'm a big fan of Simply Speakers. I'm an instructor of live sound and recording here in BC Canada, and I teach reconing, cable building and repair and most other related topics of the field. This tutorial makes my job sooo much easier. Well done! Thanks!!
I did not move. My tea has gone Cold!!
I see my coffee getting cold too 😂
Super video.
Is there any number i can call? I have some speakers needs repair
thank you for demystifying speaker reconing. I've got some vintage JBL's with coil rub. I may give this a go....
That man knows his Job.
Great presentation of his skills.
I did the first part as a kid with trash speakers to find out whats inside 😊
Seriously... . this guy could make a video for how to perform brain surgery. I couldn't look away....
Excellent, the guy knows what hes doing, an he's full of confidence.
Well done....
An impeccable presentation! So clear and concise, no wasted motion or lapses in speech; presenter seems to have been a top graduate of toastmasters!!
Great camera angles and occasional closeups to fully reveal the necessary steps to take. Sooo glad I watched this before I launched onto reconing my two 12 Jensons.
Don't know the presenter's name, but if he is a representation of the total team at Simply Speakers, this should be the ONLY go-to place for getting speakers repaired!!
Thanks so much for your clarity, continuity, and top drawer presentation of the way to properly perform reconing speakers!!! You rock!!
Thanks for the kind words!
I have had several infinity speaker re- foams done by the company. I really enjoy and recommend the quality of work, discipline, and dedication to the community of high-end speakers; and your customers. Excellent quality of work and turn around time. The packaging of the product returned. Finally, to enjoy the reproduction of great sound. It is a pleasure to have experienced this any your other videos on re-cone/re-foam/voice coil repairs. Some things are better left to professional experience than a novice. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent job! I learned alot. Sounds like an eco however i must admittedly say best utube instructional video i have ever seen.
Excellent. Best 40 odd minutes I've spent in a while 👏
What an outstanding educational video! I went from clueless to confident in less than an hour!
excellent!!! it very rare to see someone that really knows what they are doing!!! thanks
Holy crap I fell like a pro right now. Man that was a good video. Thank you so much
Simply amazing!
Awesome!
For sure this is the best tutorial.
You guys are AWESOME! Thank you so much for selling kits like these!!
Thanks!
Even though I did not understand a word, but the instructions were clear.
Thanks for the video. :)
LOVE to watch people who are great at their trade!! Nice work!!
This video is gold, never gonna go old! Thank you, excellent presentation and a good job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
