How to increase the life of the speaker cone?

We put a special glue on the cone. This makes the product waterproof and enhances the toughness of the cone. Make the speakers stronger and increase the service life.

I did this last night to 2 15 inch midbass they are about 30 years old. And literally painted them with atleast 2 coats. They look brand new, and frankly they sound exactly the same, it did not effect the original sound quality at all.

I mix 1 part PVA glue with 1 part Black ink (as used in waterbased inkjet printer) . It is thinner, and dries to a nice shiny black. Can use as many layers as necessary to achieve the result you want..

Do you know what is a good treatment for aging bextrene cones, those black shiny cones as seen in older Audax and Kef woofers? As bextrene cones age they tend to dry up and the sound develops a corresponding hardness. What substance can I use to rejuvenate this odd cone material?

[@johnathanedwards971]

How about buying a replacement or recone kit and do it right.

Hello! is it a latex solution? I bought a beyma speaker repair kit and it had a tube with a solution for cone protection and latex-like suspension!

[@AndJusticeForAll...1985]

I actually make cones homemade out of manilla envelopes. They are just novelty speakers, for fun, nothing I could use in any type of home application. But, after a few months the cone becomes a bit warped due to humidity. Any ideas on what I could put on the cone that will harden it from the weather but still allow the cone to be flexible?

[@MichaelDespairs]

I'm no expert but look into Damar Varnish. Maybe Damar is a resin from a tree? They dissolve into a solvent. Looks like there a company that uses lavender oil for less cancer causing varnish. Also some claim Turpentine Gum is the solvent to use. I dunno I'd stay away from the turpentine seems like carcinogenic.

[@matthewJ142]

Well if it's bass then yeah it doesn't matter what you put on the cone. But if the were smaller speakers. Well then that's likely going to alter the sound

No. Nothing just before. Q Parameter. Fs. And Mass.

[@djshumon]

you now have changed the characteristics of the speaker by adding weight and stiffness to the cone.

[@kcleach9312]

yea but sometimes it improves the bass by doing that ! mostly in cheap woofers where they use crappy cones with to big of magnets because it stops the cone from vibrating to much !

[@groovee63]

No it did not make ANY difference noticable

[@AutoBodyEverything]

I agree with everybody. However, if the glue or sealant that was applied remains soft or flexible after it has dried, it will give the speaker a more muted sound which would be good for a subwoofer because it filters out distortion from cone vibration.… On the other end if the glue or sealant that was applied is to be rigid once it has dried, it would enhance the performance in clarity, acoustics and detail. As a full range speaker it would even add treble. But also with a rigid adhesive, you might be able to hear distortion within the speakers performance under lots of excursion as a sub woofer unless it is very very rigid.

Adds mass and lowers the fs of the driver which equals a lower response.

Make your paper cone moisture proof use any kind of high quality water proof glue which should be thin and it should be great with adhesive properties after that your speakers 🔊 will last long that's it

[@Guuglejeuztakysracka]

Ok but why you not wrighting cons - that extra mass on the cone makes change almost all parameters of speaker, - Less sensibility (so you will need extra watts), Change resonant frequency to lower walue, Change top end frequency to lower walue too, and Q parameters,..... if you care sound, with these change you should reingeneered your crossover/bassrefflex maybe find new suitable midragne and tweeter speaker... Production company can make it similar like that, but they give you parametrs of these finish speaker. If someone cares just "racket" in rain not sound, it is ok everytime...

Yes it's common to paint speaker cones with PVA and paint, been used to waterproof cheap speakers for outdoor use for decades

what is the special glue,be specific

Its called "black paint" from Rust-Oleum. If you go in for that sort of thing. Makes a paper cone look like poly. Makes it sound like crap.

[@Satori-Automotive]

This is only good for loud outdoor speakers (for partys etc.) Its defenitely nothing u should ever do for an audiophile setup. Especially lower volumes will suffer from it. the strengh of many audiofile setups is that they use really thin and ultra light cones that can be lifted with low amounts of energy. For instance this would totally destroy the sound of highly reactive / sensitive high end speakers. making the cone heavier and stiff is a big no. But i can see the use for outdoor setups like big PA party speakers that need to be water proof and resistant to many hours of max volume music.
