JBL L100 Foam Inserts

[Greg86z28]

Well, I'll be in the market for some new foam inserts for my L100s once I finish sanding and oiling the cabinets. However, after doing some research, I've found that Foam Trends, which seems to be a preferred company based on previous posts I've read on various forums, no longer makes foam inserts. However, I did see that Sculpted Foam Innovations is making foam inserts. Unfortunately, I've read a bit about them and based on that, would prefer to avoid doing business with them.

Does Foam Trends do foam inserts every now and then, or are they completely out of the game? PS: I'm going burnt orange for the full effect.

No one?

Lansing Forum member Sonofagun does very nice L100 foam grills...

Seems like I recall him trying to sell off that business a while back, I don't remember if he ever did.

I just ordered a pair from Sculpted Foam Innovations. What's the bad word?

Inherited pair of L100's, have frames, looking for inserts. Does anyone know where to find them? I recently emailed Forum Member Sonofagun, but have no response. FoamTrends and Sculpted Foam suppliers seem to be toast. Anyone?

That was a big help. I contacted him and he's gonna be shipping me a pair of grills for my L-100s as well as a set for my Altec Valencia 846Bs. Very nice to deal with, too. Thanks for the assist.

Yes I am still in the foam grille (correct spelling is with an "e") business - right now am absolutely swamped with orders almost to the point of considering not taking anymore until I catch up.

Problem is finding good help in my area. Lately been trying to get local business assistance to expand opeartions but it seems to be a slooowww process in the backwoods town I'm in. Even found a great buy on a large facility (12,000 sq. ft.) I could use but don't have the means to acquire it. Looking for a partner - I have product plans above and beyond just foam grilles (major business in itself).

I just found this listing on eBay today; maybe they're back in business?

I'm a little bit confused as to exactly who's who making these grilles anymore.

That auctions was for grills sold by Sculpted Foam Innovations. I bought those for a pair of
L100s that have the cloth grills JBL sold as a replacement kit when your original foam went
South. Since my cloth grills are original JBL and in great shape, I decided it would be best
to have the new foam mounted in a pair of replacement frames along with new badges. He
had both, so I'm essentially getting a second pair of grills. My wife likes to redecorate a lot,
so now I can contribute by going from Brown to Blue and back.

I'm a new guy here and haven't dealt with this person before, so I hope everything works out
since I have a tidy sum tied up in this deal. I haven't received them yet, but I will post some
pictures when they arrive, if anyone's interested.
