    JBL LE14a surrounds

    Has anyone ever seen LE 14a’s with the surrounds glued to the front of the cones? These are O.E. cones and have never been refoamed. I am going to refoam these and was wondering if anyone has ever come across this . I was under the impression that all had the foams glued to the rear?
