I'm not sure what brought me here - I don't even plan a speaker repair, but watched and listened through the entire video and enjoyed every minute. I just love to see professionals in action. :)

Im even more surprised after the video ended and realised i had watched a whole 49 minute video without even noticing...and yea i dont have a speaker to repair but this dudes professionalism is top notch

@simplyspeakers 2 года назад

Thanks!

@ozzian3 6 лет назад

Thank you so much! Having a professional to show all the necessary details and specify materials in layman terms is unbelievably generous :)

@Zacabeb 6 лет назад

A really fascinating watch, as I always wondered about how the spider and cone are attached to the coil durnig assembly. This video shows that really well and takes enough time to go through everything clearly. I wish there were more in-depth videos like this.

@GregBird 5 лет назад

I have never seen this done before but have friends who have had guitar amp speakers rebuilt and old audiophile speakers re-coned. Very cool process...simple and straightforward. Fascinating to watch.

@peteshulver9221 5 лет назад

Loved watching this and I have always wondered how they got the coil to centre as I tried doing this in my teens to a big but not so good quality speaker and it did work but rubbed a little against the magnet. The Americans are so enthusiastic when they work and its sincere as I lived and worked in Dallas for 2 years. great video.

@vanlohd 5 лет назад

I purchased a kit from Simply Speakers to recone an old speaker with a spider that separated. I am impressed with the care for detail and thorough + clear explanations found in this video. Having watched this helpful video I feel much more confident doing my first ever recone job!

@Equitable111 8 лет назад

I just bought a repair kit for my 10w6v2 d4 and saw this video after watching the one for my speaker. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, even tho I am not in need of it, and I learned everything that I wondered about speakers when I was a teenager. Thank you filling a need that I did not know that I was missing. Very Satisfying.

Always loved speakers! This was THE BEST and most insightful video I have ever watched on youtube. Sir, you are a great presenter and made it enjoyable and totally informative. 5 stars :0)

@rogercabo5545 Год назад

4 years ago I brought a full recone kit for a JBL D130.. The funny thing, when open the package and looked through all parts, there was toilet raped around the dust cap. 😂 Don't get me wrong, all was perfectly packed and usable.. great!! 👍 One of the best recone kits ever!!!

@simplyspeakers Год назад

We wrap the aluminum dust caps in several layers of soft tissue paper to protect them in transit. Thanks!

@stevehappe8583 5 лет назад

Very interesting. I've never seen this done before but was captivated throughout the entire tutorial. Thanks. He did a great job explaining this.

@russmaleartist 9 лет назад

Excellent communicator! I have watched this demonstration numerous times . . . not only informative, well-instructed, and clear, but the repetition of watching a video multiple times clarifies all questions one may have, plus the repetition reenforces the steps in one's memory thus making the process much easier. One nice thing also is the reference this video provides as one progresses along in actually performing the speaker rebuild. Nice job!

@simplyspeakers 9 лет назад

***** Thanks so much. We really appreciate the feedback!

@simplyspeakers 5 лет назад

@tvoommen4688 4 года назад

I remember doing this recone job 40 years ago on a 12 inch speaker I was using to play guitar. You know, playing guitar at high volume and bass is the easiest way to damage the voice coil ! Use of shim to place voice coil accurately -- this the new lesson I learned from this video.

@gamingwithsai6822 Год назад

I watched this video when it came out and I was 3 years old. 9 years later it still brings back memories 😢well done on making something so professional and so memorable.

This video came up on a suggested playlist. I have never wanted to do a speaker repair but out of boredom I clicked on it. So glad I did. It was so entertaining, professional and educational I watched it twice. Thankyou for the upload.

@jdcdnet 4 года назад

Your product I ordered (MI-3035, MI-2000, and MI-1291F) was excellent and the demo was very informative! I made a small turntable out of some scrap stuff I had lying around and it made it a little easier, but got to say hats off to a steady hand and meticulous planning and clear explanation. Cheers, from SoCal

Sir, you sound like a professor! No ums, er's, ugh's ,like's, just nearly scientific precision with a great teaching method! Too bad I'm so old now, I'd have probably repaired many speakers in my youth!

@autoazure Год назад

Brilliant! Had something similiar to these speakers in our PA system a few decades ago! Had several reconed; it is great and interesting to see how it is actually done! Thanks!

Sweet! I've repaired antique speakers. A little different since I try to keep the sound as original as possible, but I'm about to repair a dozen newer speakers I have.

@Titelingtin 9 лет назад

Thanks for the help. I have a Cerwin Vega that has been blown for 15 years. I finally took out the 12" to see WTF was wrong, and see if I could fix it. Since I know very little about speaker repair, I watched your video. The spider came unglued, so I mixed some epoxy glue and glued it. It sounds great! I wish I would have known this 15 years ago. Thanks again!

@skyblue021 10 лет назад

I'm not even interested in this topic and I've watched it all the way through - great video!

@JerryPrado 11 лет назад

Wow..this is how an artist rebuilds a classic driver! Notice all the different adhesives that were used as opposed to how some cheap rebuild kits provide one or two glues for the entire job. Best full rebuild I have seen to date. My only critique is that I would have brushed on some liquid flux to all terminals and wire prior to soldering. The artist clearly used flux core solder so it flowed nicely. Great job...all my future speaker rebuild kits will be provided by simplyspeakers.

@Joaquin77 4 года назад

Awesome video explanation.. Now I feel comfortable to do a reconing myself whenever needed..

@rogercabo5545 Месяц назад

48:40 - Watching the speaker dance at 5Hz is pretty satisfying.

Just ordered a set for our JBL 2121H. I'm actually excited to do this! Thanks for the video and tech support Sean!

@randalltufts3321 5 лет назад

Extremely helpful. Even this old dog learned a new trick! This company is a Jewel. Excellent customer service and very complete kits for your speakers. Saves a bundle over buying new. And on older classic speakers the upgrade alone is worth it if they are raggedy or worn. Excellent easy to follow videos. Thanks guys!

This has to be the most positive way to reduce the number of blown speakers ending up in landfill as well as saving on the cost of replacing damaged ones. You make the restoration look like child's play. Cheers for this video. :-)

@waugy370z8 5 лет назад

Thank you for going this video. Ive had a pair of 12 inch Cerwin Vega 3 way house speakers my uncle gave me sitting around with the surround rotted out of them. Ive seen the re-cone kits but i was a little scarred to try it. You took a lot of my fear of screwing them up away lol. So I'll be checking your website out for the kits I need. Thanks again 👍

@@simplyspeakers what's also VERY will done (that is easily overlooked) is the guy on the camera, obviously a professional, which is very rare, most instructional vids have the info but it's not well captured by the video so it's hard to see what's really going on, undermining the very reason for the vid. Refreshing to see this level of professionalism.

@Vinnybrain 10 лет назад

You can read "how to" instructions all day long on how to recone speakers, and I gaurantee, you wont get all the info that this video presented. You guys really did a great job on this. I was sketchy about the possibility of reconing my own 15" drivers before, and I have two 2220's , an E140, and an RCF 12" out of my EAW subs that all need attention, and after watching this, I'm going to do just fine. All those anoyying little "well what do i do thens" were all answered here. GREAT video!

@Vinnybrain 10 лет назад

No Carlos mi compadre de Venezuela!! Its the time he takes talking, that gets you all those petty details down 'pat, and that make the difference between Knowing you are doing it Right, and chancing doing it Wrong. The cone for my project was a hundred bucks, and that's a bit much for me to chance going wrong, in my book. My EAW branded RCF twelve inch subwoofer driver came out GREAT, and I've got these guys to thank for it. I bought the cone at another vendor, and the adhesives from Simply Speakers, and ya know, they Still emailed me helpful info on my project to make it come out PERFECT....That's customer service!, and too many business' DON'T care, but these guys sure do. All my future cones--I'm going to check Simply Speakers First!

Great camera angles and occasional closeups to fully reveal the necessary steps to take. Sooo glad I watched this before I launched onto reconing my two 12 Jensons. Don't know the presenter's name, but if he is a representation of the total team at Simply Speakers, this should be the ONLY go-to place for getting speakers repaired!! Thanks so much for your clarity, continuity, and top drawer presentation of the way to properly perform reconing speakers!!! You rock!!
