Refoam of Infinity Kappa 6.2 bass speakers

1 Scope

The sickens of my Kappa Infinity 6.2 speakers were falling apart. Time to replace the foam.

This is how it looked like.

Unscrew the speaker from the case

Mark plus (red) and minus (black) so that the can be reconnected correctly later.

Cut the wires. Other recommendations say that it's better to unsolder them. I prefer ro simply cut them off because the mounts are not that solid. It's easier to solder the wires back later.

Remove the outer ring from the speaker body

Carefully tear off the old sicken. Mine was just falling into parts when I touched it.

Take a surgeon's knife (you get that from most pharmacies) and remove the rests of the old foam from the rim. Be careful to scratch away really everything because the new sicken will not stick to the membrane unless there are leftovers. But be sure not to damage the membrane.

Then do the same with the outer ring. Remove everything. Really everything.
