Hi all,
I thought you might like to see the end result of all your help to me on these L-300s. They sound fantastic, and look pretty good too.

Hmm. Visually, the edge of the...
My father bought them new. They are one serial number apart. The woofer cones are definitely the same, and I know he never had work done on them. They have been sitting unused with rotted foam for...
I just did a surround re-foam on my JBL Summit L300 woofers. I followed the sticky in the DIY forum using Rick Cobb's kit with the CD. It went well, and the speaker coils pretty much aligned...
