- I show some ingenious tricks for redoing the surround on vintage woofers here from some vintage 1970 AR5 speakers in desperate need of new surrounds. These speakers sound fantastic, but look extremely ugly with the grills off!!
Here are the small 0.25" x 0.063" Neodymium magnets & surround kit:
-- amzn.to/36f2L8T Neodymium magnets used in the video.
-- amzn.to/3lGL1d6 Surround repair kit, 10" AR woofer

Great job Colin, I did a set a few years ago, but never saw the magnet trick....Awesome
Thanks... I think it's important to run the speaker pretty hard too while the glue is setting to make sure the voice coil isn't scraping. I haven't seen anyone else do that either.
@@JoyeMusiccom No you're right, because I didn't either, that's not equipment that I have. You do some awesome work Colin.
seems a very involved and difficult way to centre the coil when doing it by feel is really easy on these bigger AR drivers, and cutting the dust cap off to shim it really isn't hard. Also rubber surrounds on ARs ruins the midbass response.
is a good job, i subscribe
The magnet trick is fascinating. I'm still trying to understand how it works.
where do u find magnets like this? thanks
I got them at K&J Magnetics (kjmagnetics.com/), but you can get them on Amazon.
You used rubber surrounds and destroyed the original bass response.
