How to Refoam your Woofer

Step 2 Disassembly

Take all the drivers out and make sure the leads are all in place. Don't confuse where they go or you will have the crossovers driving the wrong driver when you put them back together.

While the drivers are out, give the cabinets a good cleaning. Howard's Restore-a-Finish is pretty good stuff. It doesn't have much color to it but it does have some. It can really make scratches less noticeable.

I won't go into messing with the crossovers or any of that kind of stuff for this instructable. However some people would go through those systems and either upgrade the capacitors or at least test them out. I make sure they play before I take them apart and when I put them together I play them again and listen critically as possible. Make sure all the drivers work. I don't think anyone can hear the difference between one capacitator and another (of the same value.) Like $500 speaker wire, it's voodoo to sell to people: would you like me to fill your tires with scented air, sir?

Love the bit about scented air. Also, your spelling and grammar are a refreshing exception to the Instructables norm.
