Speaker Repair Kits

You probably know that speaker drivers won't last forever because they're exposed to mechanical stress
as the woofers move air. Thus a speaker repair kit would come in handy. I found that the most common damages include dry rotted foam surrounds or destroyed dust caps. Of course, you wouldn't throw away an expensive pair of loudspeakers just because they are old. Especially because speaker enclosures typically last much longer. Problem is though that most of these speaker models are no longer in production.

Your first option is of course to find a compatible replacement driver. If you're only repairing a subwoofer, this shouldn't be too difficult. But for a 2-way or 3-way loudspeaker, crossover design limits your choices. I would contact the manufacturer for advice what replacement drivers work best unless you are heavily into loudspeaker design and know how to figure out all technical aspects yourself.

Please follow the manufacturer link to contact one of my recommended sources who will help
you obtain a suitable replacement driver.

But what if the manufacturer of your loudspeakers is out of business or not responding? Fortunately, you can still fix speaker drivers from Infinity, JBL, Bose or KEF! My favorite DIY supplier PartsExpress has come to our rescue and offers dozens of complete repair sets.
