Jamo Surround 200 Speaker Damage

Jitterbug · 30th April 2006, 05:49 PM

I know almost nothing about speaker design. I have damaged a 4" cone in a Jamo Surround 200 Speaker. Can I replace this with another generic cone or are there things I need to look out for. I'm thinking that at least I need to match the change in the other speaker.

appreciate any help

Do you have a picture of the driver?

This is it. The centre is dented in but not torn. The cone is torn along its outer rim for about 120 degrees

Firstly, I would try repairing the cone - PVA glue on the surround, and pull out the dustcap with a vacuum cleaner,pin, or adhesive tape.
If that fails, then look at replacement drivers - generic paper cones of the same diameter might suffice but you won't be sure until you try it.
You might also want to pull the driver out & look on the back for any clues as to it's brand, size, model number and impedance, and whether the driver is shielded.
Here's some possible replacements:

Thanks a lot for the tips. I'll try a repair job. There are no helpful marlings on the back of the driver.
