Pete H Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just curious as to what others are using when building or rebuilding their speakers. I've used felt/foam/rubber compression weatherstripping and wanted to know if there's a "BEST" solution that I may have overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I've used adhesive backed foam weatherstripping from Home Depot/Lowes for years, matching the size to the original gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzannucci Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Stuff from PE compresses a little easier and if you are working with steel pressed frames / plastic tweeter horns vs. cast frames/horns,, using the gasket material from Parts Express makes the pulldown a lot easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
