nguyendot Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 What is the woofer surround material/design? I bought a pair of Forte II's and someone told me they had been repaired for the surrounds. Is the surround supposed to be inverted if it is rubber? I suppose that question is moot if the surround is the fabric suspension. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The stock woofer should have inverted rubber surrounds. They are not indestructable and I have seen some that developed cracks and needed repair. If memory serves, the passive radiators have pleated cloth surrounds but, don't quote me.

nguyendot Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. The surrounds look original, it's just weird to see inverted rubber surrounds. Why do some companies use inverted vs not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFi Heaven Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 My Forte II woofers have inverted (concave) rubber surrounds, and they are original. Steve in Minneapolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 My KG 4 woofer surrounds are inverted as well - 8" actives and the passives. Are those original also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
