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!

8" Cloth Speaker Repair Kit CLSK-8M

This the second time I've repaired a speaker sub - it is very easy to do and the repair lasts basically a lifetime. I made the decision to spend the extra 5 bucks to go with the cloth repair kit - but this is a personal preference. I received my repair kit within a couple of days from when I ordered on-line. Everyting required to perform the job was provided in the kit. The entire job took 2 hours from start to finish - including drying time.

2000 Avalon JBL Sub Repair

So glad I found you! Our 20 year old Avalon with JBL sound system began having sub-woofer problems a few years ago. In doing research for repair or replacement, I came across your website and was impressed with all the good reviews and ordered the repair kit. Every step of the way, from ordering to your communications, delivery and especially your installation instructions and video were outstanding! Doing a repair like this is usually not in my wheelhouse. I took it slowly, followed your directions and worked with the video. (Yes, removing the sub from the rear deck was the hardest part.) The entire project took me a bit over two hours. When I turned on the sound system I had a big smile and a great sense of accomplishment...made my week! I don't write reviews but you have earned my respect and admiration and wanted to take the time to say how impressed I am with how you run your business. Absolutely Top Notch! THANK YOU!

Great repair for DIY

I installed the cloth repair kit for a 2004 Lexus es330 with Mark Levinson stereo in Aug 2017 for my daughters first car. It’s now Nov 2018 and it still sounds fantastic. Very simple arts and crafts project once you get to the speaker. My daughter listens to a lot of music now that she’s driving. I had thought about replacing the stock setup but with the sub repaired I really don’t feel the need. I can be very picky about installing aftermarket audio equipment but being able to revive the stock stereo components with an inline BT adapter and hearing how good it now sounds while maintains a factory look always wins for me. I am now looking to get a repair kit for my 1990 LS400 sub. This is my daily. I have looked into upgrading the entire setup, but once I heard how well the ES330 sound with the repair I’m excited to repeat the results.

2000 Avalon Woofer Speaker Repair

The rear woofer in my 2000 Toyota Avalon had failed when the speaker's cone foam support ripped, apparently a common problem with these JBL speakers. I successfully repaired the failed foam with the “Edge-it” kit following both the paper instructions and Simply Speakers on-line video. It now woofs just fine. Doing the speaker repair saved me ~$300 compared to buying a new “special” impedance speaker from Toyota. Here are some helpful tips: In a 2000 Avalon getting the old speaker out for repair and returning it to the rear deck after its repair is a real pain unless you trim away some of the finished plywood top deck with a sharp mat knife or a small saw. During production Toyota must have installed the speaker before the deck was installed over and around it. Take my word for it- TRIM IT! Cleaning away the old glue that mounted the foam to the metal speaker frame takes much longer than it appears on the video, at least 30-minutes. Have a good solvent handy like acetone or paint thinner. The video mentions that the replacement ring has an aligning tab poking out; however, the part I received did not. The paper instructions did not mention a tab. Either way, a tab really wasn't needed to properly install the part. The entire time from start to finish (removing the speaker, repairing it, replacing it) including required adhesive drying time, was around three hours. For that, you’ll save ~$300! You should have reasonably good hand skills to do this work.

Q: You created a great foam replacement video for Toyota Avalon JBL Speaker Subwoofer Foam Repair 86160-AC180! My question is: How do I remove the rear deck? I can remove the 4 bolts holding the speaker, but I can't remove the speacker itself without removing the upper rear deck cover itself out of the way. Thanks in advance!

Asked by: Mike - 10/23/2016

A: Info from our FAQ page:

How to remove the Toyota Avalon rear deck JBL subwoofer model 86160-AC180:

Climb into the back seat. The speaker cover, which also houses the stop light assembly, is held in place with a couple of pop-in clips near the front of the cover. Using your fingers lift up firmly on the forward most portion of speaker cover enclosure, right where it touches the rear deck. The cover/enclosure should lift up about an inch as the pop-in clips come loose. If you can’t get it with your fingers, carefully use a flathead screwdriver to pry it up. Now carefully pull the cover forward, towards the front of the car, about an inch. This should free the fingers that hold the rear of the cover in place. Reach back and disconnect the stop light wiring harness plug. You have to press on the center of the plug to release the lock as you pull it out of the socket. The cover should now lift away easily.

You can now see the woofer/speaker mounted in a black plastic frame held to the rear deck using 4 x 10mm bolts. DO NOT remove the speaker from the black plastic frame. Remove the speaker and the black plastic frame together. Using a 10mm deep well socket remove the 4 bolts holding the speaker frame in place. Now comes the slightly difficult part. The sides of the plastic speaker frame are under the fiberboard rear deck. You have to push the speaker frame to one side about an inch, further up under the rear deck fiberboard panel, so the other side of the speaker frame will lift up clear of the deck panel. It takes some doing. Lift the panel and push the speaker at the same time, kind of working it back and forth to get it to move. Once you get one side free and clear, the other side comes out pretty easily. If you have a helper, they can push the subwoofer up from inside the trunk. The speaker wire is still connected. Reach down and unplug the speaker using the same method. The speaker and frame will now lift clear.

You can use the radio while the woofer is removed. Change the fader all the way to the front speakers.

Q: how do i determine if my staticy woofer needs a new foam kit repair or could in be something else? Could there be a problem with the speaker cone or something else?

Asked by: Bruce - 7/19/2016

A: The speaker sounds distorted or "staticy" because the foam surround which supports the cone has failed. When you replace the surround, the speaker will be good as new!
