Have you asked Rick Cobb? I believe he ships internationally. He's been very helpful to me and I know many here depend on him for the correct surrounds for JBL. http://myworld.ebay.com/looneytune2001/ or [email protected]

Thank you and sorry for the late answer-
I`ve asked him.

I am glad you found what you needed, and I understand you wrote "for the people, who live in Germany"; my comments are anecdotal and intended for anyone who may find them self in a similar situation to one which recently happened to me; a driver with seemingly no solution available................and the fact that you recommended that specific outfit

They have a lot of "YouTube" videos; they don't fool around, the guy is VERY fast but the work looks neat and clean
No shimming on foam jobs and no LF signal for centering, "they" just "get it done" (and the sureness of his hands is very impressive)
I contacted them a month or so back, looking for some surrounds for a hard to fit EV woofer, for which complete factory cone kits are no longer available
I did so because one of their videos was one demonstrating a re-edge being performed on the exact woofer I was working with, so I figured my chances of scoring the correct (fitting) part would be good and I was striking out here stateside (finding some that were EXACT)

Very helpful, reasonable response time to my email inquiry..............
BUT, they are VERY expensive! (and that was BEFORE the shipping costs to the U.S.A. were factored in); so much so it kind of blew my mind
Their foam was also a compromise fit for the roll width as well as the inner diameter at the attaching lip (and the smaller inner diameter overage was significant)
(it is one of their few videos with poor focus and I was unable to see much detail)
In all fairness, EVERY available surround foam listed for this driver was the same, a compromise, from all the usual suspects
I got the old "won't affect sound" routine from all of them.............except Rick
Rick Cobb was very patient with me and we came up with an edge that was listed as one for an Infinity 12" that was an exact fit, albeit 1/8 of an inch shy on the roll width (5/8" versus 3/4")
I stayed with Rick, and at less than 1/2 the price

My point? If Rick cannot supply you with what you need and you find yourself "talking" with the German outfit, ask VERY specific questions regarding dimensions as they appear to use a lot of the "standard" stuff outfits like "Simply Speakers" sells, almost "generic"

I have yet to find anyone who sells more precise fitting surrounds than Rick, and I have installed more than a few of his surrounds; this EV project was an anomaly

I am NOT knocking the German outfit; maybe this EV was an anomaly for them as well, but they don't "publish" any dimensions and in one of their videos there was some hole punch and trimming work. I have never had to do that with a Rick Cobb surround and I do not know what and how they charge when selling into the European market

But again, Rick Cobb came in at less than 1/2 the (German's) price before shipping; with this EV project that proved to be the case even after shipping was added

As a re-edge is a compromise job in the first place, I would suggest anyone shopping surrounds who resides in the contiguous U.S.A. to "stick with Rick" (or another second choice stateside vendor) unless there are absolutely no other options or unless it is a very special driver and the Germans have an exact fit part that you can't source here
