Moderators dtel Posted February 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2018 It's not hard to do, I did some Baby Advent's a few times. If you have not done it before be sure to use the shims usually supplied it helps keep the voice coil aligned. It's not hard at all, I would much rather diy then send it off. Edit; Just read on of those sites, they say no need to remove the dust cover to align the voice coil, that's new I guess, not what they use to say ? Kubotadave, I love my kubota ! .

dtr20 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 If you are just doing the surrounds, no shims needed. Glue the inner part of the surround first and wait for it to set. For the outer part of the surround, I hook the woofer up to a integrated amp or receiver and put a 90hz test tone through it (app on my phone). I glue the outer part while the woofer is playing the tone, this helps the woofer stay centered, if you go off centered, you will hear it.

Moderators dtel Posted February 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2018 The kit I used probably 25 years ago just for replacing rotted foam surrounds came as a kit. This was good the first time I did it because I had no idea whet to do. I was not crazy about the idea but it said to cut away the dust cap then put in the 3 shims to hold the voice coil and glue the new surround back on. It would had been much easier if it did not have to be cut and shimmed. What I did not think about back then was the first time I did it, I should used anything besides foam again, every few years it had to be redone.
