Velcome to the forum. changing surrounds is easy and cheap, search the site for surround or speaker repair

thank you both for your replies, l will have a look around the site for what you have described.

Yes l think l will order a surround and give it a go myself as l am usually fairly handy with things, although have never done this before. l was quoted 150-200 to do one 5.25'' (13cm) woofer. 

Are the rubber surrounds on ebay for 6 euros similar in thickness/structure to the originals as my other speaker woofer is still fine and l would like them to sound similar. Apologies for all the questions, just want to have all bases covered before l carry out repair, thank you.

Thank you very much for your help. Ok, l will do both together. l have already re capped the crossovers,

regards.

If you count 2-3 hours for a speaker 150-200 USD are about right if you consider labor costs, I would do both drivers if one is bad the other one is on the way going bad. To clean off the old surround I use a small cutter blade. On the basket you can scrape hard and get it all off easily, on the cone you will have to be more careful, I place a finger under the cone at the scraping point and then scrape little by little until the glue is gone, do not cut or scrape into the cone, then clean off with mineral spirit or Isopropyl Alcohol again careful with the cone, just clean it with moist rag. Make sure you get the new surrounds with the correct dimensions

I use Aleene´s Tachy glue, did my first drivers some 5 years ago and they are still good.

These are the ones I found:

Beovox 1702 does not use a 6-inch woofer!
I never saw any surround problems with Beovox 1702, what happened?
