Ah. OK, I follow you.

I recognize there could be a pretty large investment in time and aggravation considering the payback, especially on this driver which could be easily replaced. Other better speakers can be quite expensive to replace though, so I am using this speaker as an experiment to see if I can develop the skills needed for other speakers. I've personally performed half a dozen re-foam jobs so I have some idea what I'm getting into. And working on speakers is a more productive evening activity than watching TV, even if I'm only "earning" about $5/hr. That assumes of course I don't botch the whole thing.

Thanks,

Gary

OK, the pre-assembled cone kit came in and I installed it Tuesday evening. Not difficult at all. After a dry fit test I applied the adhesive, dropped in the kit and installed the shim. Nothing to it. The glue is dry now and it seems to work perfectly, though not yet tested at the power level it would see in production. No reason to think this was not completely successful. As I mentioned before, the effort to clean off the old parts and adhesive was much greater than anything else.

  Have you measured the new system and compared it to your measurements of the old system?
  
  How does it compare?

    No, I have not measured. It was blown when I got it so I have no baseline. I could do a WT3 sweep if that would be helpful to anybody out there.
