A Real SL 2000 Hack. Replace stock (burnt voice coils) with "silk diaphragm dome ".

Thought you all should see what I have been up to this time. Just wanted to see if I could do it. Until I get the replacement tweeters ( I have them on the way now) I decided to see if I could hack into the toasted SL 2000s I had. Well it worked, how well I don't really know yet. So far so good they actually sound better than I expected. I expected they would not work at all or would sound terrible and they don't. Either way these did not work at all and after this they do. There are just so many variables (as many as you can imagine) that there was almost no hope in getting them perfect at least in one try. It was worth $11.00 just to see what happened ! I have a lot of fun doing stuff like this. Inevitably I will try again with different domes another day, its just a matter of time. Who cares anyway, these are shop speakers and I have more on the way. Have fun with this one !
First I removed the silicon.
