Hi,there,How do i Refoam may :JBL L65-12″ Woofer?Purchase in 1974 Ser,no:52055-52252,Refoam Kit?…..Many Thanks in Advance,…Aksel.
You need to use the RFK128 JBL kit and select DCP3200. If you are asking how to do it, here are the instructions
I have a set of L100t’s and the foam around the woofers has disintegrated. Is there a more durable replacement for the foam? Thank You.
It is very typical for the foam surround to dry rot. This dry rot also occurs on butyl rubber surround speakers. Depending on where you are in the world and the environmental exposure your speakers experience, you can expect this to happen every 5-20 years. You can change the cone to an accordion edge surround or an all paper surround but you will sacrifice low frequency response. The speaker cabinets were tuned for this type of speaker and surround so I say just repair them as needed. You can send them to us for us to refoam or recone or we sell do-it-yourself parts as well. Contact us at info@speakerex.com for more info.
The L100 is related to the 4310 and 4311 series but has no connection to the 4400 series. It had all different drivers, and was discontinuued long before the 4400 series was released. The L100T and L100T3 are the the home version of the 4400 series.
