Steps to Recone Your Speakers:

  1. Remove the Speaker:

    • Disassemble the Speaker: Carefully remove the speaker from its enclosure. This may involve unscrewing or unclipping it.
    • Disassemble the Speaker Components: Remove the old cone, voice coil, and other components from the speaker frame. Note how everything is assembled for reinstallation.

  2. Prepare the Speaker Frame:

    • Clean the Frame: Remove any residual adhesive or debris from the speaker frame. The surface should be clean and smooth for the new components to adhere properly.
    • Inspect the Frame: Check for any damage that might affect the new components. Repair or replace the frame if necessary.

  3. Install the New Voice Coil:

    • Position the Voice Coil: Place the new voice coil into the speaker frame. Ensure it is centered and properly aligned.
    • Secure the Voice Coil: Use the adhesive provided in the kit to secure the voice coil in place. Allow it to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  4. Attach the New Cone:

    • Align the Cone: Carefully align the new cone with the voice coil. Ensure it is centered and aligned correctly.
    • Secure the Cone: Use adhesive to attach the cone to the voice coil and the speaker frame. Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles in the adhesive.

  5. Install the Surround:

    • Apply the Surround: Attach the new surround around the edge of the cone. Ensure it is securely bonded to both the cone and the frame.
    • Smooth and Seal: Use adhesive to secure the surround and ensure there are no gaps or leaks.

  6. Attach the Dust Cap:

    • Position the Dust Cap: Place the dust cap over the voice coil and cone assembly.
    • Secure the Dust Cap: Use adhesive to attach the dust cap to the cone. Make sure it is securely in place and sealed.

  7. Reassemble the Speaker:

    • Reconnect Wires: Solder or connect the wires from the voice coil to the speaker terminals.
    • Reinstall the Speaker: Place the speaker back into its enclosure and secure it with screws or clips.

  8. Testing:

    • Test the Speaker: Before reinstalling the speaker into your vehicle or audio system, test it to ensure everything is working correctly. Play some audio at low volumes and gradually increase to check for proper operation and sound quality.

  9. Final Assembly:

    • Reinstall the Speaker: Once testing is complete and the speaker is functioning correctly, reinstall it into its enclosure and reattach any panels or trim pieces removed during the process.

  • Be Patient: Allow all adhesives and sealants to fully cure as per the manufacturer’s recommendations before using the speaker.
  • Professional Help: If you're unsure about any step or if the speaker frame is significantly damaged, consider seeking help from a professional audio technician.
