Great instructional and teaching video ... I think I'm going to restore my old vegas ... Do you know how long the new Foam Surrounds will last?
@davidbryanwoodworksandmore
@davidbryanwoodworksandmore 3 года назад
Thanks a lot Alex. I cant say how long they will last, but can say that they will for sure be a huge improvement over old nasty ones. The sound is much better. Punch is back and the lows are even better. Also check your ports too. They may be loose or off completely.

Literally just did a pair of CV 12" surrounds. The first foams lasted 35 years. If kept out of the sun there's no reason new surrounds won't last another 30 years. Just buy your surrounds from someone reputable. Audio shop in your area or a good online store. I never trust eBay for authentic parts.

This will be the 3rd time I've Replaced my surrounds.. Purchased the speakers in 1990. 1st Replacement was within the 1st couple of months, due to a ferret. 2nd was due to the fact that I was using them as DJ equipment for a time. This time just due to age. Honestly vega could have used a better material for their surrounds back in the day. They did upgrade the foam at some point from just a straight foam to a coated foam, Which does help in their longevity

Unfortunately I lost my brother in Dec. 2020. Many years ago when he got married and moved out of our parents home, he asked me to help him pick out speakers for his new place. Being a young kid at the time, I had Cerwin Vega 12" subs in my vehicle and suggested he purchase Vega's. He bought the AT-12's and loved them. Well I wanted to make sure I got them and not the trash man so I picked them up yesterday and brought them home but I'm going to need to replace the surrounds. Already ordered the kit and hope to have them on this weekend. Amazed that some are selling the same speakers on ebay for $450, just goes to show you how awesome they are. Thanks for the video!!

David thanks fir watching. I am sorry to hear about your brother. I can’t imagine how that must be. I’m so glad you are going to rebuild them and have them to remember him also. I wish you the best. They are very good speakers and yes eBay is going nuts for them. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

I've done a lot of speakers. The edge is not hard to remove from the cone. Don't use your knife is a slicing direction. That risks cutting into the cone. Keep your knife verticle and scratch at the old foam with the tip. It will scrape off the cone. You can take some acetone and soak it if needed. Use a q-tip to apply the acetone. You don't want to peel off any layers of the paper. That weakens the edge of the cone.

Hi David, This was a really interesting video! My friend and I were discussing how old speakers can fetch serious cash, without the foam and cone. I've never owned any high end speakers to justify repairing them, though I've scrapped enough low end speakers from foam rot :( Would a heat gun work with removing that glue? I've used a hair dryer before for removing old price tags.

@davidbryanwoodworksandmore 4 года назад
Thank you for watching and commenting. I a kk so back in the day scrapped speakers because of this problem. You know when I bought these on craigslist, another craigslist buy, I new I could fix them. So I got a great deal. It makes a lot of sense. I think a heat gun could work. I would certainly give it a shot maybe on some practice speakers first. I love these cerwin vegas. I’m glad that at least a couple people found the video interesting. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Just curious where do you get tou foam kit? I got one off Midwest speaker and the foams were defective so i sent them back and ordered from Brew City. Brew city makes a better foam imo and includes paint brushes, 2 types of glue and gave me free dustcaps and shims and shipped within the hour. If anyone is looking to order foams or whatever CV related, Brew City is where its at. His foams are designed to hide the old glue ring unlike any other foams you may find. They are the right color CV used also. That old glue ring would have annoyed me for the next 20 years. So glad i dont have to worry about that now.

I just did this (actually still waiting for the glue to dry). It's a bit dicey scraping the ancient foam and glue off the cone without cutting it, but I managed to complete the job without doing any damage, just a few minor cosmetic scratches near the edge. Hopefully this will be worth it

@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore mine are RE30's, made in 1995. They've got 12” woofers, pretty much in perfect condition besides the dry rotted foam surround. If I had to guess, the previous owner probably "upgraded" to a smaller bluetooth speaker, since the Cerwin Vegas are so big and heavy.
