another brite idea , no paint
i have noticed that steve went threw a lot of trouble to make some dingy yellow cones look like new ,well almost , but to some the minor difference in wieght and ts paramiters seemed to be in question ,me personally ,i dont think you would be able to here the difference with the human ear ,at least i dont think i could ,but as ANUL as some of us jbl nuts are it seemed to be a concern ,also the chance of peeling in the future not with what steve used but you know some one might just use some product that might not fair as well in time ,so here is another option as strange as it sound with the new high tech cleaning products ;) i beleive i found and tried one that works very nice ,now it does not do as well as painting but there is no ,(NONE) , added wieght ,and it will get it 90 to 95% PLUS as white as painting ,very carefully prepping the same way ,tapeing the dust cap ,it does not effect the surround ,but i did not get any on them, or almost ,using a clorox bleach pen ,the scrubbing side ,apply and work into cone lightly ,it going to get wet but not saturating them and wipe off with a clean white paper towel , then when it dries you will see a clean white noticable difference. i have done 2 test cones ,junks from blown speakers that were reconed ,then i did 2 sets of woofers 128h and 115 s ,i have pics of the 128h , 1 done and 1 not ,also i will do a before and after pics of the next set (same driver,to see difference in the same driver)
and steve nice job ,i just thought i would give members the info of what i have tried and had decent results with ,for those who are worried about the possible change:D
