Tweeter foam/felt repair

focal7C · 11th April 2008, 01:17 PM

Where can i buy loudspeaker replacement tweeter foam/felt in Australia?

The outer diameter is 43mm and the inside diameter is 26mm.

On the speaker part sites I can only find repair foam for 3.5" (90mm) diameters and up.

Thanks in advance, Roger.

Hi,

Tweeters do not have foam roll surrounds like bass midrange units
do, so even if the size was available it would be unlikely to be correct.

I was unaware tweeter surrounds disintegrated. Any other reason
is usually fixable for what are presumably not expensive tweeters.

They are Focal T120K inverted kevlar dome tweeters.

Took the front plate off (attached to dome/coil). So may have problems with re-alignment even if I can find a felt replacement/fix?

Hi,

You may be able to get hold of complete diaphragm
spares, i.e. coil / dome / suspension spare part.
