    OH NO! Aquaplas? Dead Horse?

    Sure, I know many associate the term "Aquaplas" with the sandy, thick white coating on some models of JBL cones - but I see the name popping up on what appears to be OTHER kinds of speaker cone/surround treatments: - a clear or translucent coating that claims to be "rubbery" or flexible...

    How to Re-Dope Snell Tonegen/Foster Tweeters (Model E, J, K; gens. I & II)

    In doing this project I couldn't find any real picture guides so I thought I'd make one. My intention is to show how easy this is to do - if you have Snell speakers with cracked tweeter doping, don't worry! It's very easy to fix as I'll explain. Now, I haven't taken measurements and I'm not...
