Anyone ever refoam Bose 901's?

HeHe...ya, she is always bringing computer, and audio components home. She knows I like to tinker with worthless projects...anything that doesn't amount to a worth while project equals me (-:

Thanks guys...I looked at the instructions and it looks pretty easy....mostly time consuming (I'm retired though). My garage is 28'x 28'...I think they will be good for what I need out there. I have an old Sansui Au-717 integrated amp, and Sansui TU-717 tuner....I listen to mostly radio out there....classic rock.

No, no EQ with them. Thats the first thing I asked my wife "did you get the eq for them?"....she didn't.

Looks like $50 for the repair kit (factory cloth surrounds), and another $100 for an EQ at E-bay....so around $200 would do it.

I'll kick it around.

Thanks guys, I've been doing a little reading. I found out that the series 3 or 4 EQ will work with these....nothing else. I'm not going to pay over $100 for one....I'll have to play the Craigslist, E-bay game, until I snag one.

Well, I started messing with the foam today...only took about 1/2 hour to strip one speaker...stuff comes right off.

I bought a repair kit also...$56 shipped, for the life time cloth repair kit. I got good news on that, you do not need to pull the drivers. That alone, will save a few hours!

Thanks for help, and the tips guys...

I got the new surrounds today...tried them for fit, and they fit perfect. This is going to be easy.

One note: The front grill is stapled on with six staples...one in each corner, and one in the middle, at each side. It took me a while to figure it out, very little info on the web regarding this...and the access slot between the grill and the cabinet is very narrow.

You need to use a slim tool, with a broad and curved end that will get behind the grill at the staple points, and slowly pry up. You also need to protect the wood cabinet as you pry...I used a thin piece of cardboard between the wood and the pry bar....a little bit tricky because you don't want to break the plastic grill.
