[RoboCopper]

Hi, I need Help with Mission 700 speakers woofer repair/replacement?

What is best to do, buy another woofer from today's range and which one?

Or repair present one which is in really bad condition (worse than on the picture).

Where to do it? What to do?

Wants refoaming & these foam rings can be bought. Chris Wazoo will point out where from.

Thanks.
I am not first owner so I am not sure how good woofers are.
Cones are also pushed in by finger and I think that somebody already replaced foam, or repaired something else on woofer.

Although they do produce some weak sound, quite badly of course.

Hi Rob,
Try this guy (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Speaker-Repair-Kit-Mission-700-incl-1xglue-1xbrush-/360415478429?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Speaker_Parts&hash=item53ea6fc29d) for the parts.

And read this (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17353) for some moral support and some tips - don't forget to look at the threads that this one links you to.

It's not hard, I promise.

Ok, I maybe crazy (which I am ;) to do it myself, but as I mentioned in previous post, I think somebody has tampered it before the final failure.

Speakers do work, but when I try to push inside the the cone, resistance is quite high and I can not find almost perfect centre.

What I am trying to say is that maybe will be better if I find modern day replacement for woofers????

(I think that even professional would not be able to center it and fix it without tampering with coils and magnet which I definitely do not know how to do it).

Look at what I wrote about the trick with the battery for centring the coil in the gap. 'tis but the work of a moment!

You are good!

You must be working as police negotiator :)


I kind of want to avoid all this work, not because of me being scared, but of making an error and losing £20 (if I am not able to fix) on speakers which cost me so far £0 :)
