Saphire II
« on: 21 Nov 2016, 10:59 pm »
Hi, I am new to this website, I own a Saphire II system with 2 Sub_1

 woofers. During a recent move, one of the movers picked up one of the subwoofers and put his hand through the speaker cone tearing the rubber surround. There is no identification on the speaker itself, it is a 12" with 2 coils, does anyone have information on this subwoofer for a repair or replacement? This is my favorite speaker set, I would love to repair it back to original condition.

Where are you located?  There's a guy in St Charles (St Peters?) MO that rebuilt my 40-year-old Dahlquist subs and did a fantastic job!  Reasonable, too.  I shipped them to him along with a check.

Thank you for the link to Audioconcepts online and for the referral, I will ping them. I am located in San Jose, CA. I have been researching online and the rubber surrounds can apparently be replaced with some modest skills. The rubber surround is what was ripped, the cone is intact.

Usually a repair kit is 1 piece setup: suspensions/cone/VC ready to install, changing only the external suspension it will be new but the other parts will be old, affecting mainly the spider.
