SS Audio Recone Kit for 15" Cerwin Vega 152W, 4 Ohms, RK-CV152W

The kit arrived very promptly, And was packaged very well. I would highly recommend this high quality, easy to assemble kit to anyone. Also my shim was fine. The recommend adhesive kit although not an absolute necessity, creates a locktite bond that is every bit as strong (If not stronger?) than the factory. THANK YOU SS!! for helping keep these old beauties alive.

These re-cone kits are the way to go if your old speakers are worn, punctured or just plane wore out. Short of a damaged metal frame or magnet, these kits will give you basically a brand new speaker. One draw back for CW speakers though- the supplied shim material is too thick. It measured at about .012" and would not fit. I ended up using two pieces of plain copy paper (using the supplied shim as a template). That got me at .008" and it worked well. Make sure you either use their recommended glue, or go and get some similar epoxy. All in all, re-coning my speakers this way saved me about a 100$ (per speaker)over trying to just buy a new speaker. Be sure to watch the instructional videos they have as they will make your job drastically more simple!. Excellent way to go for the $ spent!

Kit was very high quality, but required more steps and therefore more chances to screw it up in assembly than most youtube recone videos. Take your time, follow instructions, and you're golden. The voice coil shims were too thick so I had to make my own :(

Received the parts in good order. Followed the directions and video as well. Repaired the speaker using the epoxy kit that I ordered and it worked out well. The speaker is working fine.

awesome product ,came rite on time.ez to follow instructions

The voice coil shim supplied with the kit was 0.010" thick but it would not go into the gap. I found that I had to use a 0.008" shim (0.009" did not work either. I got the shims from a machine shop supply company. I also did the voice coil to cone before the voice coil wires, not after and added a glue bead, spider to voice coil (around the outside). Other than that the kit looks great and the adhesive kit that is recommended also worked well. Speakers sound and look great.

After rebuilding my speaker works perfectly. In my case my coil had seized to the center post so I to destroy it to remove and could not tell the neutral height. Tech support was helpful. The only problem I had was the shim to center the coil supplied was too thick by about .002" I made shims from layers of paper to center the coil. My speaker is like new now.

Had no problems just ran out of epoxy. I have a set of U 15s from 1982 and the cast baskets were both different. Has anyone else ever heard of this? I know they were original woofers my buddy bought them new. I have pics...

I am wery satisfied, everything oki!

complete kit, easy to use. Almost pro finish
