ZEUS121996 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The knuckleheads punched holes in the pasives on my Forte II, my understanding is reconing isnt available yet, so I need a pair (of passives) Im in Chicago. Anyone have 2 they need to get rid of? TY Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 if you take the units to a good rebuild shop I cant see why they cannot fix you up with a new cone but why not just patch up what you have? As long as they are air tight you are not going to see them on the back side of the cabinet. Throw a metal grill over them so they don't get knocked about again and they will be even harder to see with the grill in place. Best regards Moray James.

ZEUS121996 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 The holes are seriously awful, I have no idea how to seal them. And I was told replacement cones werent available yet. I will call Mr. Crites and make sure TY Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 massage the cone back together as best you can and patch from the inside with coffee filter paper and some white wood glue. If you have a huge hole you can make a patch with some light card stock. Really the passive is nothing more than an air tight weight on a suspension. Patch it and it will work as good as new. Any cone will suffice if you must have it replaced all the rebuild shop has to do is to match the suspension and the mass that moves. I think that a patch is all you need to do. What do you have to loose by trying? I fully expect it to work like new. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kogeed Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 On your Forte 2, two speakers are damaged? Who has an extra speaker, I can buy it. I have one repaired, but I would like to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
