oh believe me, removing the foam was worse, soooo much worse.
i had to carefully pry all that crap off to save the woofer cone and get them into my 2000AXTs, they sound a great now, but if i had known what model infinity those were in the first place (1001s) i wouldnt have bought them, and i would have been stupid.
because a week later i found a pair of 2000AXT with crappy optimus woofers, and guess what, i already had the correct woofers from that crappy pair of 1001s.

At least he used foam.
This is how you shouldn't re-foam. :lmao:
I'm not sure if removing foam is easier or the tapes.
Still thinking a good way so I don't damage the woofers. :scratch2:
Oh damn that hurts.

Duck tape would have been the right fix... That tape is not duck tape... Duck tape fixes everything.

At the very least, there are four wonderful EPI tweeters there... but, man! That is some messed up repair!

Hehe... in fact I remembered you or someone who has that duct taped avatar when I got them as mentioned in this thread: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?p=6234690

I saw an AK'er with duct taped avatar here somewhere.
He can use this from now on.
Also, I can take some better pictures if you want.
The top woofer has so much tape that only the dust cap is not covered.
