thanks Davey, what would be tedious regarding the back side? I have the silicone, oil, syringe, tube and tire needle on the way.
Is there any loosening of the brackets involved?
Doesn't seem to be a lot of room to be jabbing a tire needle in those cracks. I wonder how folks are doing it w/o damaging the foil?
Here (from DIYaudio.com) john states shooting it on the foam itself:
Laid the speaker on its side and supported it so it would not tip.Sucked up some silicone goop and laid a nice bead over the front foam, right on top. The foam sucked up the silicone. I just kept laying more beads until the foam cavity was filled. Then did the other speaker, and let it dry for 6 hours. Then I turned it over and did the other front side... Didn't bother with the top or bottom foam...
So I guess my question would be is the objective to simply 'rebuild' the existing foam that deteriorated over time by hitting it with the silicone/oil and allowing the foam to act as a sponge?
