I bought a pair of JBL L3's off of Craigslist for $100. I used them for 2 days and I started to hear a weird sound from the right speaker. It was almost as if it was blown, and when I put my hand over it, it was omitting a lot of air. I couldn't understand why and was looking at the woofer from all angles with a light, and finally I pushed the woofer in lightly and the foaming around the speaker literally about came off (it stayed in place as the woofer pushed back).
tl;dr I need to refoam my JBL L3's because I really enjoyed the sound and if I could throw a tiny bit of money into them and have them as good as new...I'll be happy I suppose. :)
I was looking on eBay but I'm not really sure what to get. There are a few audio specialists locally that would more than likely be willing to do the refoaming for me but if I could do it myself and save some money, that would be convenient. I'm looking to not spend more than $40.
There are a few refoaming kits on eBay but nothing SPECIFICALLY for the L series. Could anybody link me of what would be ideal? I'm assuming if I order the correct kit and were to bring it to a specialist it would be a pretty small price.
Only one speaker needs the refoaming but I should more than likely do both, I'm assuming?
Thanks.
