Tired of the rear bose speakers fuzzing out....here's the fix:

R1ce · 11-04-2003, 10:10 PM

Mine started making so much noise that I finally just took them completely out. Well I had a chance to fix them this weekend and found that it's just the cone seperating from the speaker, apparently very weak factory glue holding them together. I decided that instead of wasting time having them replaced at the dealer only to eventually have the same problem, I would just fix them once and for all. A healthy dose of contact cement courtesy of one of my friends and they are as good as new.

Having no bass whatsoever for a couple months, putting the rear deck speakers sounded even better than the poor sub I had in for a short while.

Here's a pic of the glue coming apart on the speaker which causes it to sound like it's blown.

Just around the edges of where yo can see it separating? __________________ --------------------------------------- 2000 Nogaro Blue S4 Stg 2+ GIAC X \| Piggies \| ASP TruDual \| Avic D3
