JVC speakers

[B3ta]

hello,

I have these awesome JVC speakers but the midrange is starting to make this noisy sound,
I do believe is from the cap that is all smashed in.

JVC Midrange Speaker Hsa-1034-01a 8 Ohm. hole to hole is 130MM. I can't find the replacement anymore but would you guys recomend a good pair of replacement speaker?

cheers

What's the model number of the speakers, and where do you live? A pic of the midrange (front and back) would also help.

Hello swechsler,
I’m in Edmonton Alberta, and the speakers are AV digital performance SP-85.
Check pics...

Cheers and thanks for wanting to help

Try using some blue painters tape to gently pull the dust cap out, or put a toilet paper tube over it and suck, it may pop out. Some also use a vacuum cleaner to do it, but be careful.

I suspect that whatever dented the dust cap also damaged the voice coil. I don't think the dented cap itself is the cause, although it wouldn't hurt to try to fix it. It's also possible that the cap is no longer fully glued down, which could cause it to buzz. If that's the case, you can try to reglue it with some Ailene's tacky glue. Don't use too much, you don't want to change the mass of the speaker significantly.

Thanks guys!!! I will try to fix it and see if improves the quality sound. The best would be finding the replacement even if is a different brand.

Some how I got attached to these speakers due to its clean sound, now I can even hear scratchings... maybe time to buy new speakers.

cheers
