The most common problem with speakers are rotted, torn or damaged surrounds. The surround is the outer suspension part of the cone. Constant vibration, time and the environment cause foam and rubber surrounds to degrade. Cloth and paper surrounds can become brittle. This causes distortion and poor performance.
Luckily, our easy to install repair kits will make your old speakers sound just like new!

Retired engineer
I have two pairs of AR Powered Partners and over the years the foam surrounds have deteriorated to the point the speakers were unlistenable. I was googling for replacement speakers when the search turned up the link to Simply Speakers. I ordered one of the speaker repair kits because I wasn't confident that it was something I could do without making a mess of it. The hardest part of the whole process is the prep work--cleaning the cone and speaker frame of all the old foam and adhesive. It takes time but is not particularly difficult. The instructions that accompany the kit suggest squirting a little adhesive out of the tube to become familiar with the flow rate. A good idea because the adhesive flows very freely. I wound up squeezing a puddle of adhesive into a spoon and used a toothpick to apply it to the new speaker surround. I had no problem centering the surround on the speaker cone--just follow the instructions. Also, you'll have to keeping working around the circumference of the new surround to make sure the surround is firmly attached to the cone. After letting the adhesive set for an hour repeat the process to attach the surround to the frame of the speaker. After reassembling the speakers and giving them a test drive I ordered another kit to repair the second set. It's great having my Powered Partners sounding as good as they did when they were new. I highly recommend this repair kit to anyone whose Partners are sounding ragged from years of use.

Your instruction video made the sale!
Before the product review, a thanks to the video guys that showed how to use the product. I saw a video on another site that scared me off. Gobs of Elmer's, cutting dust caps, and a crap job resulting. I re-foamed a pair of 4" woofers in a pair of AR Powered Partners this weekend & had successful results that also look great! The product is great, but the written instructions and video made it happen. My last project started off with instructions that said "Abort this product" & listed the "free tree resonance" of the woofer, yea Pyle speakers, your instructions were in proper English and not just a couple weird drawings, plus you have easy to follow videos. This was my first re-foam & now I would tackle a re-cone with your products. Thanks for helping me bring back a great old pair of speakers & I'll be back for more of your products.

I purchased these for my AR Powered Partners. While test fitting them I noticed that they were a bit small. Although I was able to successfully install them, it would have been easier if they had been a half inch larger in diameter

Good cheap fix
These were pretty easy to install and at this size (4") cone alignment apparently wasn't possible or necessary. The speakers sound good but so far haven't developed the bass power I remember Powered Partners having. They are just breaking in now. They have definitely improved during break-in. So far I'm just giving them a 4 star rating.

Speaker Repair - part 2
I previously repaired my woofers and now repaired the foam rings for the mid-range cones of my Acoustic Research AR48s speakers. I'm now able to hear all this subtlety of the music again. If the foam rings of your speakers have deteriorated, it is well worth (and not really difficult) repairing them. Just watch the Simply Speakers repair video for guidance.

Did the job
Removing the old residue from the frame and cone is tedious but simple. I used a small chisel and an xacto knife. Foam ring diameter is 1/4 inch short of 4 inches, and barely fit the the frame. So I glued the frame first to avoid any gap, and then the cone. Result was satisfactory. The instructions were very clear. I also got a quick response to my question about glueing sequence.

Works - my ARs are brand new-ish again
Just wanted to thank you for your 4" Edge-It speaker kit which I used on my 20+ year old AR Powered Partner Speakers. New kit is installed, albeit not as neatly as your Cerwin Vega repair video, and the speakers are back to their original quality sound. In case you have other AR owners out there thinking about tackling this job, I learned after doing it wrong on the first speaker that I should I just unscrewed everything from the back instead of prying off the grill on the first speaker.. I can't figure out how to get the grill back on that one 🙂 so now it's ugly with the speaker exposed. I did ask chat support before I performed the operation but because these are old, the team member guided me to gently pry away the grill with a putty knife to access to the speakers. But no matter, they sound great with full bass response again.
