Paradigm Single Edge 10 Inch Foam Speaker Repair Kit FSK-10A-1 (Single)

I ordered the foam repair kit on Monday night and received it on Friday with free USPS shipping. Their tracking system leaves a lot to be desired, USPS that is, but I considered that pretty quick shipping considering it was free. I watched their video that was linked in their website, which shows a repair on a Cerwin Vega driver but the procedure was exactly the same, and was able to get the entire procedure done in about fours hours. Of course that includes waiting an hour after glueing the surround to the cone, to the basket, and then the gasket to the top of the foam surround. I was a little worried about getting the cone centered in the voice coil and could actually hear a small amount of "scrapage" when gently pressing the cone down into the voice coil, but once I had the foam glued to just the cone, it wasn't making this noise anymore. I had done some research on how much it would cost to replace the driver and I a believe I found one that was $185, so $19 was a lot less and if I would've messed up, not that much $ wasted but I didn't mess up. My subwoofer sounds fantastic again. I have lows in my music and movies that I had been missing for years. I stopped using my PDR-10 about 2 years ago thinking I would have to spend a lot of moolah to have it working again, but here I am <1 week and $20 dollars later with a speaker that sounds just as good as I remember it sounding before the surround rotted into a billion (or so) pieces. Thanks Simplyspeakers for a great product at a great price. By the way, I had watched some other repair videos that showed just using Elmers glue to glue the surround, but the glue that came with the kit tacked up quickly, but not so quickly that I couldn't make some minor adjustments to get the surround attached at the same location as the original surround.

Worked as advertised. As other reviewers have correctly stated, the success of this product is dependent on proper preparation of all of the gluing surfaces. Not very challenging but definitely tedious. Watch their Youtube videos, take your time, pay attention to detail and you'll be rewarded with a sub that is good-as-new.Prepping the gluing surfaces took me a full two hours. Gluing the 3 surfaces takes about 5-7 minutes each with an hour drying time between the 3 steps. Overall it took me a tick under 6 hours with 3 of those hours just waiting for glue to dry. YMMV.The foam ring is of very good quality. The glue is excellent and is what the seller uses in their retail shop so I have no doubt that it is of very high quality. The included instructions are very good but do yourself a favor and watch their videos. Follow their guidance and you'll be very pleased with the result.

Was able to fix my old speakers. Great kit will buy again if needed

Great product and easy to use if you follow the instructions in the video. I repaired an $800.00 Theater sub for only a fraction of the cost of replacing. 30 days of use and still holding well. Will use again.

After watching all of the instructional videos I could find, I decided to give it a try. The replacement driver for my Paradigm PDR-10 v3 was no longer available. So I ordered this kit and followed all instructions.Long story short; after installation the voice coil was scraping badly.I wanted to try it again but did not need the entire kit. Only the foam surround itself. So I ordered (from another vendor) a set of two foam surrounds for my 10 inch driver. Tried it again only this time I carefully cut out the dust cap to gain access to the voice coil. Installed some shims and then glued on the foam surround. Glued the same dust cap back on the cone. Excellent results. Sounds good as new.This is a great kit but for those of us who occasionally make mistakes, it would have been nice if they included two foam surrounds, Just in case. The glue included with the kit is excellent and there is enough to do three or four speakers. Shims are not included with this kit but can easily be made with stuff around your house. I used the clear blister part of the packaging from some Hot Wheels. Flat and thin.I would buy this kit again. Hopefully some can learn from my trial and error.Somewhat unrelated but I had to order this kit twice. The first one arrived perfectly on time and my mailman decided to leave it leaning against my front door because it wouldn't fit in my mailbox. An hour after it was delivered a dog decided to snatch it from my porch. Never to be seen again. True story. My security camera captured it all.

I repaired the woofer with this kit and now it sounds as good as the day I bought it. I am handy, but I have zero experience repairing speakers. I did not even know a speaker could be repaired after it blows and looks that damaged. You do need to take your time and follow the instructions and videos. Don't freak out if you get a little glue on areas it should not be, I did and it did not effect the sound. When cleaning the old foam/glue off, I did not finish with a wire brush or attempt to make the metal shine, I just got the bulk of it off. I could not feel any glue, but the metal was still discolored with the old glue. I took my time and took to old foam/glue off the first day and glued the new component on the next day.

Advertised it fit a paridiem seizemic 10. Not even close. Later admitted they didn’t have it, that I should contact manufacturer. Charged a restock charge, it cost me $16 to ship back a $28 item. I doubt I’ll get much back. Poor product, no where near the quality of original.
