Allen is going for the 'wall of sound'. But at the moment the wall is only 7' high and 10' wide.

Stick with foam. The driver will have been designed with a foam surround in mind. Change to rubber and you'll change the drivers' performance by quite a bit, which will affect the sound.I now need to order some surrounds , Foam or rubber that is the question
The originals were foam and you can see what happened to thoes
Should I stick with foam of go for rubber ? will rubber alter the sound ?
You know the consequence's when you rubber breaks / brakes

Quote from speaker designer Troels gravesen - "I've often found drivers with foam surrounds superior in performance compared to drivers with rubber surround. I've changed quite a few drivers' surround from rubber to foam and always found an increase in performance, generally a more vivid sound without compromising the drivers' frequency response."

Aleene's Original Tacky Glue. It's the best!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

It's water based, so if it's a bit thick, just thin it with a little water. If you get a bit on anything you didn't want to, wipe it off with a damp ball of cotton wool. Easy peasy!That's handy , I have a unopened bottle of the adhesive

What a bar stuwart job getting the old foam off
Cut most off with a scalpel , then soaked the glue in acetone , you need to be quick as the acetone evaporates then the glue goes hard again
Then getting the remains off the paper cone , I found it best to pull it off between finger and thumb , supporting the cone with the other hand stopping any defection in the cone likedid you see that i'm all modern like
