Hi all

I see the rubber surrounds on the woofers of the Beolab 6000 are constructed from very thin rubber which provides a high degree of compliance to assist bass reproduction.

I have read that the foam and some rubber replacement surrounds impact on the original response from these drivers and suppress their bass output. I wonder if anyone has installed the rubber surrounds from AudioFriends which are advertised as having been manufactured specifically for these drivers. Can anyone comment on how these surrounds perform in comparison to the original surrounds?

Thanks!

And if you don't dare to glue, then this might be an option:

Oh my goodness - that's hilarious!

What on earth did they use to 'glue' the first lot - it look like tar! šŸ˜‚

Hi 

I need to fix my beolab 6000 woofer, but  I do not dare  gluing. There is any shop to which I could refer in Germany or Europe ( I am able to dismantle the loudspeaker)

Regards

Just in case anyone is reading this, I just redid the rubber on my beolab 6000 if you take your  time it is an easy diy job.I bought a kit off of ebay from a guy in Holland. Comes with 4 rubber surrounds and the glue, you just need patience and in my opinion the results were great. Deeper bass respnse very happy with the results. You can find a video on youtube how to do it.

Good evening,

Maybe interesting: I'm collecting (also from other people / manufacturers) manuals for a good sight for everyone how to repair a foam or rubber surround witch is decayed. If you have a suggestion for a good manual from others Iā€™m very interested. For instance the trick witch a 35 ā€“ 40 Hertz test signal. It's just a simple site. (link)

Thanks in advance, Fred
