Acoustic Research 11" Foam Speaker Repair Kit FSK-11AR (PAIR)

I had replaced the foam surrounds about 20 years ago on the same woofers in my 70's vintage AR-3a speakers. When I did them before the adhesive supplied with another company's surrounds was similar to Elmer's Glue, a liquid white glue that dried clear. This kit I just recently purchased of foam surrounds and instructions to replace them included a glue that was much more effective and dried much faster than the previous experience. I have replaced the surrounds which took about 3 hours total per surround (which included the two hours of curing time, start to completed speaker). The hardest part was removing the old adhesive and foam material from the basket and cone surfaces. After the glue was set the new foam was very secure. I waited a day to really try them out. The new surrounds work perfect and the old speakers now sound like they did when I bought them. I'm very happy with this product and the way it installs on the speakers.

A great pair of AR58s speakers brought back to life! Kit worked perfectly.

The Product works and it is easy to use. Recommend using the eraser of a #2 pencil to help press down the cone to the seal.

Foam replacements were easy to install! Great product at an awesome price!

Great produc! With the new woofer surround rings I was able to get my vintage AR-91s back in service. It was a little tricky getting the cones centererd but I developed a method that worked for me. I just used a few dots of cement around the ring, tested, then if I felt rubbing I'd shift it slightly before the glue set up. Then when happy with the centering I was able to lift the edge of the rings and run the cement around the perimeter.

I found a pair of RCA (Onkyo) Dimensia 375 speakers at the thrift store for $10 dollars in great shape except the foam on the woofers was shot. There's no direct replacement made so I did some e mailing around to a couple places and I got an answer that same day which surprised me (the other places took a couple of days). The customer service rep recommended this kit for the job and with a little trimming and in spite of the first timer guy who was fixing it the repair turned out excellent. If they work good in speakers they aren't designed for I imagine they will work top notch in the speakers they are made for.

The AR-11 foam kit I bought was exactly what I needed. The instructions were clear, repair easy, and my trusty old speakers never sounded better. I highly recommend this foam repair kit. Thanks guys.

Having never opened my AR 3a speakers until recently because of low end vibrations in the right speaker, I was very hesitant to do my own repairs with no knowledge of what that might entail. Watching the repair video on your sight (several times), I thought I could give it a shot. It couldn't get worse, right? Ok, it could.. It actually worked out great! The 30 year old speaker foam adhesive was still very sticky though. I used Goo-Gone and then alcohol (to remove the Goo-Gone). It worked quite well. The kit adhesive works great, but you have to work quickly. It took about five hours or so for the whole job but that includes two speakers and two one hour dry times for each one. I would recommend this repair kit to anyone with classic speakers like the AR3a. My speakers have new life again.

It fits perfectly with AR200003 Woofer Acoustic Research 98 LS (12"-300mm- specifications in the brochure) Easy to install No problem with shipping to Spain Thinking on replacing the foam from the rest

Excellent product. Easy to install with an outstanding result. I'm enjoying again the real AR sound.
