UK source for foam speaker surrounds (5 - 6 inches)?

Nov 29, 2013 5 Replies

Friend has pair of Castle Acoustic Clyde speakers with no foam surround left. He also has no money - so commercial repair or replacement not possible. I have found foam surround suppliers in USA and NL but not UK - any pointers please? (Arfa or Nigel??)


No knowledge, rarely see foam surrounds, and have never refoamed, reconed yes but again not involving foam

Ok - thanks for the reply. May have to just replace the drivers - if I can ever work out if they are 5" or 5 1/4".

Thanks for the suggestion - sorry for the late reply. I have tried that website 3 times. At first it looked hopeful as they had manufacturers logos - but clicking on the Castle logo does not get me anywhere - just a slowly scrolling string of unconnected pictures. By using the "search" button and searching for castle it only finds one item :- "Refoam kit for 2x 8 inch Castle drivers" Which might be what I want - but no Model where used or dimensions given.

How to lose customers before they even get them...

If time is not an issue you could bodge replace the rolls - I did a pair of my own completely shot 8 1/2" drivers (the rolls were hanging in tatters) about 12 years ago using Diamond tape as the impervious base and strengthened with material for longevity - still going strong without distortion (subjective!) but they are 100W drivers and I never need to use them for anything more than about 20w and mostly at about the 5w level! Took an evening each. C+
