I own four JBL L-150's that use to belong to various band members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I love the sound of these speakers, but I am really getting sick and tired of having to replace the foam surrounds about every 6 or 7 years.
I have asked Central Florida Speaker if they could use cloth surrounds or even rubber surrounds and they say they can not find anything that will fit these speakers.
I know, I know, there are a lot of you out there wondering why in the world would I want to change the sound of these speakers? At low volumes I might agree with you, but I listen to these speakers cranked up and I am of the opinion that at loud volume levels you are not going to really notice what type of suspension is used up front. I don't think it will be that big of a difference.
I am just sick and tired of the $$$$ I have to spend to maintain 8 drivers every 6 or 7 years.
What can I do? I am hoping some of you here will have some helpful solutions to this problem.
I would really like for all of these speakers and passive radiators to have cloth surround that I never have to replace again!
Any and all suggestions appreciated! Thanks! KG
