View Full Version : Replace the surround on my LE15A and 2121
anyone know where to replace the surround of my LE15A and 2121?/ should I order parts and DIY??
Usually how much will it cost to have someone replaced, with parts and labour??BTW Are they worth to replace??, I am new to JBL Vintage.

As long as you do not have two left hands DIY is possible.
Do a search for "refoam" or "resurround"
Best source for refoam kits is Rick Cobb in Florida.
Do a search or PM me for his email adress.

Resurround step-by-step (http://audioheritage.csdco.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=469&highlight=stepbystep)
Everything you seek... :thmbsup:
I ordered the surround kit fr Rick and should be arrive in few days, I do some search on the net, not sure why people replace the surround need to remove the dust cap (dome) and CENTER it again, anyone know if I need to do the same for my LE15A and 2121???
I check the local store if I provide the kit , they will charge me CAD260 for labour, (USD180) to refoam it CORRECTLY. what they really do and should I let the PORFESSIONAL do it??
Thanks

Hey, Tom...
Unless there's some damage to the dust cover, I don't imagine you need remove that. Just carefully remove the old surround and glue - this can take some work to get it off the frame / basket - and fit the replacement into position and glue, as per the Step-by-step, making sure the cone is centered.
You can use MEK - an addictive inhalant :nutz: - that faciliates removing the glue, but you need be in a well ventilated work area. Careful...
