RE: Rotting Surrounds
ok I know this isn't ur usual speaker stuff...budden I got it off a trash heap and needing some surround speakers for my PC I figure they would work...problem is many of them have their surrounds rotted (which may be why they got thrown out in the 1st place)...any1 has any idea where I can get replacement surrounds...or maybe a cheapie drop in replacement driver for these (they are kinda small)...they came off a JBL 300SAT ... sorry for the fuzzy pics...they were taken off my phone

I don't know for sure if those will fit the hole you're trying to fill... but they're less than $4 apiece, so *shrug*

well I was aiming to get new surrounds as there was 1 with intact surrounds and it sounded rather good (to my ears anyways) and the PE pioneeer tweeter woudln't really work as these things are actually mid woofers I guess (there's a seperate tweeter)...might give the cloth thingy a try...as for 3" drivers...I'll take a look and see what I can find around here in Singapore...thanks for all the tips so far guys...keep em coming~!

A flat surround is by far the easiest... you can make it out of treated cloth (something fairly course -- very lightweight canvas for instance (hemp canvas would of course be best) -- even thin blue jean material, craft felt, or thin leather or chamois. If you want to make a half-roll surround or an accordian surround, you'll need to make a jig where you can shape the cloth while your treatment material cures.
