I was real skeptical about doing this myself because I have never done a speaker re-foan before, but after a lot of time and effort and sore hands of removing all the glue residue and getting it prepared for the new glue everything lined up great with the W6sv2s the foam is designed so tight that there is no need for trying to re-center the voice coil because it’s so tight it automatically puts it where it needs to be. very well-designed product very happy with the outcome only thing I can suggest that someone else trying this is to not use as much glue as I did really only takes a 1/8 inch bead all the way around like they say, all the way around way cheaper than sending it to JL or paying a speaker repair guy to do it

Replaced the foam on my jl audio 12w6v2 sub that had dried out and cracked. There was a big hole it in and i wasnt getting good bass anymore. Took a little while to clean the glue off when removing the old foam. Thanks to the video it wasnt too hard. I used a razor blade, scraped with a flat screwdriver and a chisel, and used some goo gone to really get rid of any last glue still stuck on. Then glued on the middle while propping up the sub with a stick, then glued the edge after an hour and let the whole thing dry overnight. Seems like it worked because now that the sub is hooked back up it pounds harder than it ever did (bought it used). I hope the glue stays strong thats my only worry but it seems pretty solid

Couldn't be more pleased with this kit! Cleaning the old glue off of the sub cone and frame was a little tedious, but only took me around 20-30 minutes. The new surround fit absolutely perfect. The fit is so tight in fact, that it would be hard to mess it up. Just make sure that the glue is fully dry on either the cone, or the frame before attempting to glue the other. I used some balls of wrapping paper to stuff underneath the cone and frame, in order to push the cone out so the lip of the gluing surface on the cone would be flush with the new foam surround. Worked like a charm.

My JL W6 12 bumps once again! Make sure to use more rubbing with white cotton cloth and 91% alcohol. Support the cone gently holding the lip high enough to use elbow grease while rubbing the old glue off and peeling it off. The surface must feel clean to the touch. Only then is the surface prepped correctly. The metal rim on outside contact must also be scraped, again the alcohol helps to weaken the bonds of the glue. Have fun Haha.

This is the second time I've purchased a kit from this company. They are great! Shipping was incredibly fast!!!! WOW! The only thing that could make this better is if they included the necessary tools required for stripping the old adhesive from the speaker. That was the tricky part and requires a lot of elbow grease. Other than that the product its self is flawless and works great!
