  5. Remove old ring • Cut the old ring. • Remove as much as possible. • Beware: the old ring is pretty dirty stuff. Be careful with your clothes, table cover etc. © Good Hifi 2007

  6. Remove from back © Good Hifi 2007

  7. Remove from back • Use a knife or your nail to remove as much foam and glue from the back of the membrane as you can. • By bending the cone a little it gets easier. Don’t bend to far! • If you remove the ring it’s possible you tear a small layer of paper of the woofer’s cone – that’s no problem (former picture). © Good Hifi 2007

  8. Clean the frame © Good Hifi 2007

  9. Clean the frame • Cut as much foam us you can, using a sharp knife. • Cut as much old glue as you can – you can leave some glue if you want. © Good Hifi 2007

  11. Remove foam – left over • On the frame there will be some foam left. Remove it by using a cloth with some alcohol (or similar) on it. • If you want, you can try to remove any grease left on the frame. © Good Hifi 2007

  13. Check woofer • Look at the membrane and the frame. Is it really clean? • Press the woofer downwards a few times. © Good Hifi 2007

  15. Glue ring to cone • ‘Fold’ the ring behind the cone. • Lift the cone a little, put a little glue between ring (inner ‘lip’) and cone. • Repeat this, working your way around the woofer. • Spread the glue if you want. You can also spread the glue by moving the ring around a little. © Good Hifi 2007

  17. Apply pressure • Push the ring to the back of the cone. • Remove any glue that’s to much. • Put something on the inner side of the ring applying pressure to ring and come. You can use a cup, a small pan, ….. Leave it for a few hours. © Good Hifi 2007

  19. Glue ring to frame • Is the inner part glued OK?? Glue is dry?? • Lift the ring a little, put a little glue between ring (outer part) and frame. • Repeat this, working your way around the woofer. • Spread the glue if you want – slide your finger around the ring. • Apply pressure, using a tool like a pan… © Good Hifi 2007

  20. Glueing to frame - hint • Center the ring?Play a very low tone (5 Hz / 10 Hz) over the woofer at a very low level while the glue is still wet. The woofer will tend to center itself. © Good Hifi 2007

  21. Test woofer © Good Hifi 2007

  22. Test woofer • The glue is dry? • Play my test-signals over the woofer. Listen if you hear any scraping sounds. Push the woofer (while not playing!) a few times – feel if there’s any scraping. If the woofer is not centered (i.e. you feel or hear the scraping), remove the ring an apply another one – centered. • Everything OK? Enjoy your ‘new’ woofer! © Good Hifi 2007
