Penta midrange gaskets

2 replies

This is my first post. I have a question, and yes ive searched the forum for days !

Many of you with Pentas have replaced the foam surrounds on the midranges - probably the vast majority of you, and yes im doing it too !   What are you replacing the cardboard gaskets behind the drivers with ?  Mine are so brittle i really dont want to put them back, 2 broke taking them out, and 1 was crushed from the factory.

Ive made automotive gaskets before and considered doing so in this case, but i cant see getting these as accurate as they would need to be. Very thin 3m foam tape maybe ? Ive never seen one as thin as this would need to be. Love to hear your ideas.
