RE: Replace the surrounds with foam.

Are good idea.This is so werid I was having werid foam thoughts last night but not about these.They are the same as beta 8 for sure.The spider is stiffer then the other driver too though.I might go the amorall on it tonite.Amoral... not sure if it sold in the usa.I just found a site below but I cant find the actual product.It is amoral protectant.It is used on rubber vinal leather plastics etc.It is sold to put on dashes and trims bumpers etc It will make old plastics softer.There is a catch.If for eg you apply it to a old dash and stop doing so regulary.It will make it crack.I have used this to losen up spiders on my axiom 301's and it seemed to work.And so far no damage.though I worry about it.

The only issue I have with foam would be the fact I live in a high humidity enviroment.But if foam sounds better it would be worth it.Last night I was wondering if you could cut out old paper surounds and use foam on vintage drivers.I have lots of nos pairs of calrad 8 inch I could experment with.When I listen to these they seem to get confused on complex stuff like possible there is all sorts of break up modes happening that I thought may improve with foam surrounds.Thank you for the tip.I will investage further.I quiet enjoy working on drivers.
