I did this job about 6 months ago on an old pair of DQ-10's and it's pretty easy. "Simply Speakers" web site has a good step by step tutorial. BTW you do not remove the 1.5 inch wide cardboard spacer (looks a little wood like)that surrounds the cone. I think this was Advent's way of putting a smaller woofer in a larger frame. Good Luck.
Dq-10 Rotted Speaker Foam Repair
Hello. Got a pair of DQ-10s need to replace the rotted foam (cones are good). Don't have a lot of money so just bought two foam replacements to install myself. Anyone give me a step by step? I have no idea what I'm doing but if I have vague instructions I can figure it out. I just don't want to force anything unintenionally. Do I leave the big wood faceplate attached and somehow pop the speaker out of the gasket or what? And how should I apply the foam (which side goes which way)? As much info as you can give would be helpful... thanks
