got some rs5 kappas from jerry j12, of course, midwoofs need refoam.
stripped old surrounds and cut caps because there appears to be rubbing when moving cone in and out, and will be shimming instead of just relying on low freq. cd i got from rick cobb on last refoam job.
Question, all the ads i find advertising surrounds for kappa5s are 6 and one half inch wide, whereas actual frame of driver is just 6 and one quarter.
Is it just as simple as trimming outside of foam, or is difference going to throw off how inside of surrounds fit to cone differently?
By the way, i found out about rick cobb here on cp, he helped me track down just the right foam for mach three woofers,would like to use him again, but have not heard back from him since emailing him on ebay several days ago, anybody used him lately?
If his ebay page is still up, does that necessarily mean he is still in business?
thanks guys.
