installed that rubber surrounds from goodhifi on my beolab 6000 speakers and they do sound good if mounted correct. I see no reason to buy new woofers, but it's up to anybody to decide what to do with their speakers.

Hi

Hoping to get a reply since this thread is old. I have a B&O system. I have severail pairs of speakers among these, two pairs of Beolab 6000 which have  developed the rattling sound characteristic of blown woofer/midrange drivers. I need to replace these. The B&O dealers inthe USA I have so far contacted do not sell the individual drivers. I am a DIY person and it should not be a big problem for me to replace the (really cheap and cheesy) drivers. How can I get these and how much would these cost me?  I need 4 or may be 8 ...

Hi there, if you still need them:  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rubber-repair-kit-B-O-Beolab-6000-4-pcs-glue-/250930223926?pt=UK_AudioVideoElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item3a6c9b5b36#ht_583wt_986  

I have installed these on mine and they are great, make sure you dont use too much glue and that after you have fitted and glued the rings, that you play music through them to ensure that they are seated correctly in the proper position.

If you need any help, let me know.

this link would probably be more use to you🙂

After having some of these woofers replaced there was more to it then just swapping faulty woofers.

depending what serial number the speakers are you will need certain caps and resistors changing. (some of these being surface mounted)

then they needed to be re jigged using an oscilliscope.

Plus the woofers werent badly priced at £70 for 2. which in comparison to the price of a new speaker isnt a lot.

Did you get the caps and that done at a b&o retailer?

How old are your speakers?

You are confusing the woofer (bass speaker) with the tweeter (treble/mid range).

Unless the situation has changed recently,there are no extra components to replace with new woofers and full instructions are provided by B&O.

There are some components to replace with new tweeters. These are used to improve the protection circuit so that, in theory, the new tweeter does not blow again.  Again, full instructions are given in the box.
