I bought a set of old 6x9 tweeter/woofer speakers that were never used, but they were not stored properly so the rubber seals around the woofers cracked and promply disintigrated. Is there a way to replace these seals so i can use the speakers?
Hello kagato_morri,
While it's certainly possible to replace the surrounds, whether it's economical to do so is another question. For very high-end speakers, there are often "repair kits" available to replace spiders, cones, surrounds and for some, even the voice coils. But such parts are usually not available for your run-of-the-mill speakers.
If the speakers are otherwise in good condition, and you are willing to spend some time with them, you can use an adhesive foam to construct a new surround. A product called "shoe goo" makes a good permanent bond. It's a super strong rubber cement and will hold up under the stresses of the moving speaker cone.
Hope this helps.
