Jensen Model 5 Speakers

[Allietggal]

Hello,

I am hoping someone here can help me.

I have an old pair of Jensen Model 5 speakers that need to have the Woofers replaced or the foam surrounds repaired. Can someone tell me a good replacement speaker to use to replace the 12" woofers? I would ideally like to have them drop right in with the same bolt pattern but I know that probably wont happen. If I have to have the surrounds repaired/replaced to use the original speakers what would be the approximate cost for that?

Thanks much for any help

Allison

If your woofers can be refoamed, you're probably looking at about $60. labor per speaker and add cost of the surround. Add shipping. Check some of the advertizers here, or do a web search.

Where are you located? Many AK'ers here are glad to help out with those kinds of things. Also, pictures of the woofers, and speakers in whole, will help a lot. I would personally charge a lot less than $60- per speaker...it's not rocket science by far.

And if you're a handy/crafty type person who can follow instructions, you can do it yourself for the cost of the foam surrounds and glue. But not everyone is up for that.

Definitely try to get them fixed rather than trying to replace them. It's nearly impossible to get just the right woofer that will match the existing cabinet, crossover and the other drivers. They're not like tires.

Some years ago AK advertiser Simpy Speakers out if Florida refoamed my Jensen 12 inch woofers. Did a good job.
