Foam surround replacement question


My woofers' (dynau 30w100) surround have rotted. I ordered a new set of foam surround from speakerbits, Australia. I just discovered that they didn't include the new dust caps. Is it ok to replace surrounds without replacing dust caps? Their instruction didn't mentioned anything about dust caps either.

The dust cap is sometimes the source of higher frequencies which the large cone cannot follow. Same idea as a "whizzer" cone. And then there is dust to worry about.

Better replace the dust caps.
