I am attempting to re-foam a pair of AR-11 bass drivers with a generic AR-11 re-foam kit.
When the surrounds are placed on the frame, there is barely any overlap to glue onto the cone, and the cone seems recessed downwards compared to the foam which extends out with only a slight in/downwards tilt over the cone and is about 1cm higher when ll is at rest on it back, and not signficantly different when flipped over for the gravity factor.
Additionally, the existing foam is mounted on a wooden shim/spacer onto the frame, about 5mm high. A nicely machined shim - not a DIY hack, by the look of it.
Does any of this sound 'normal' ? Or is the previous re-foam been hacked to fit ? Or is the cone in fact a generic and not-quite-exact match ?
Cheers g.
