Re: How to redo speaker surrounds on small speakers?

It depends. If you are willing to forego bass response (not much bass on a 2.5"driver anyway), you can use what Wharfedale did in the 1960's for their midrange drivers and use felt. You can find that in sheets at a hardware store and cut a ring of it. Similarly, you could look for sheets of closed cell foam at a craft store like A C Moore. If the driver's cone is paper, not plastic or polypropylene, you can use a latex glue to glue the surround to first the cone and then the basket of the driver. In gluing the surround to basket leg, make sure that you center the cone while the glue is still wet by pushing down in the center of the cone to ensure there is no scraping of the voice coil.
