Speaker repair...is it easy?

Thanks for the +s' and the kudos, but MC held the nail...

I just drove it home. ;)

In my unfortunate example, it was one out of four prototypes.
I had expected 'issues', and wasn't disappointed.
But it was a stupid error on my part, and hasn't been repeated since.

Since Speaker Repair doesn't list Dunlavys, call 1st.  But do, whoever you go with eventually, follow SRs' suggestion:
Remove the driver from the cabinet, and ship it 'raw'.  They'll charge you for both removal and remount, a simple screwdriver routine. And shipping a cabinet is just heavier and more $'s for packing and weight.

This you can DIY; PM me for the routine I've used before. I'll even send you a drawing of the how-to in a jpg or pdf... I 'do' that sort of thing daily.
I've shipped a pair of JBL woofers cross-country, had them reboxed in mine, and returned in perfect shape after a recone and surround swap.

If anyone else wants in on that, get in line.

Speaker Exchange in Tampa Florida is the best place I have found so far for repairs. Excellent work and extremely reasonable if not cheap. 

Not easy for me.

@dinov, and all.....I've actually bought repair parts from Speaker Ex/Tampa in person.

Not swanky fancy, they look like an audio 'rehab' facility.  Shelves with lottsa parts with folks that know exactly where 'item X' is....

Email or call....;)

I literally just our Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 speaker driver cones foam surrounds replaced and used Bill Legall of Millersound. Bill did an EXCEPTIONAL job.

Cost was $50 per larger bass driver and $45 for the smaller midrange driver.

His craftsmanship and work are priceless!

You can remove and mail the driver to him (I was close and drove to drop them off and pick them up). If one driver has an issue, it's likely the others are soon to follow - I had Bill do all of our cone drivers in our speakers and recommend you do the same.

Highly recommended!
