Mini Advent indoor outdoor speakers are they worth refoaming the woofers?

RandyCroissant

I have a pair of late 80s Mini Advent plastic outdoor speakers. The foam is rotted and I am wondering If they are worth repairing, other than that they are in great condition. Any thoughts Thanks in advance.

I have done 2-3 pair of Advent foam jobs & they all came out nice. If you plan on keeping them & price for replacements isnt to much-why not. I found it fun to have the challenge. FWIW I dont know anything about that speaker your asking about though

Probable have little 4 or 4 1/2 " woofers. Easy peasy re-foaming those. Well worth it I'd say.

Most replacements are 20 bucks or so & wont hurt the wallet.

I had picked up a pair of Advent 2002 fro Good Will for $8 just so I could try my hand at refoaming. They came out great and I also upgraded the caps and resistors. These things sound way too good for what they are.
