stan461 Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Does anyone have any better material for sealing the woofer than that tar like substance that AR used?Or maybe making a gasket?It took me forever to break the seal and lift that sucker out (twice).

ninohernes Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Nope, the original stuff, mortite, is the best for this. New mortite can be found here if you need some. http://www.energyfederation.org/consumer/d...cPath/21_392_71These speakers are not made to be opened, so opening them is somewhat difficult, but once they are fixed, there is no reason to open them again anyway.

ninohernes Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 If you have the Alnico woofers, with the cloth surrounds, you should never (knock on wood!!) have to open them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll it till it forms a snake then press it into the recess fit the woofer or other drivers and trim the excess. It is made to remain plyable for many years under sink and bath drains. Unfortunally it is a tan color but with trimming does very well. Dale> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
