Simply Speakers Paradigm Single Edge 10" Foam Speaker Repair Kit FSK-10A-1 (SINGLE)

Used to refoam my Paradigm subwoofer. Great price for high quality kit. Enjoyed the process too.

I was able to salvage my $1k subwoofer with this product. Was a snap to restore my 12' SUB.

I read the reviews prior to purchasing. All of the low star reviews seem to have one thing in common. These people have no clue about tearing something apart, cleaning it properly, and putting it back together. In the case of speakers, this was my first time. My Paradigm subwoofer had rotten surround on a paper cone. 91% isopropyl and a old rag was able to clean everything and prepare for the installation. The instructions that are provided, detail everything needed to do the task. The amount of glue is more than enough to do the job, but understand that this glue is like rubber cement and melted marshmallows all in one! It will stick to anything and not come off. If applied with precision and patience, the surround will align perfectly and your driver will be back in business. If you attempt this and make a mess with everything, don't blame this product.

I found it very easy to work with and had a good sound when it was done.

I ordered the foam repair kit on Monday night and received it on Friday with free USPS shipping. Their tracking system leaves a lot to be desired, USPS that is, but I considered that pretty quick shipping considering it was free. I watched their video that was linked in their website, which shows a repair on a Cerwin Vega driver but the procedure was exactly the same, and was able to get the entire procedure done in about fours hours. Of course that includes waiting an hour after glueing the surround to the cone, to the basket, and then the gasket to the top of the foam surround. I was a little worried about getting the cone centered in the voice coil and could actually hear a small amount of "scrapage" when gently pressing the cone down into the voice coil, but once I had the foam glued to just the cone, it wasn't making this noise anymore. I had done some research on how much it would cost to replace the driver and I a believe I found one that was $185, so $19 was a lot less and if I would've messed up, not that much $ wasted but I didn't mess up. My subwoofer sounds fantastic again. I have lows in my music and movies that I had been missing for years. I stopped using my PDR-10 about 2 years ago thinking I would have to spend a lot of moolah to have it working again, but here I am <1 week and $20 dollars later with a speaker that sounds just as good as I remember it sounding before the surround rotted into a billion (or so) pieces. Thanks Simplyspeakers for a great product at a great price. By the way, I had watched some other repair videos that showed just using Elmers glue to glue the surround, but the glue that came with the kit tacked up quickly, but not so quickly that I couldn't make some minor adjustments to get the surround attached at the same location as the original surround.
