Same with my Bose. The foam surrounds were short lived. Rubber lasted longer but was not as widely used.

- smackeyacky 3y agoThe foam surrounds can be replaced. It isn't difficult and you can buy kits for a lot of different sizes including the glue. One thing to watch is to ensure the cone is still centred but anybody who is patient can fix a bad foam surround.
- analog31 3y agoI've done it! A relative of mine had two Gallien-Krueger 250ML guitar amplifiers, which are an interesting bit of kit, but the 5" speakers had foam surrounds that rotted out. I ordered and installed generic replacements from Parts Express. For my part, I was just curious about how the amps would sound. As for the Bose, they were nothing special as speakers, and I already had a stereo that I was happy with, so I disposed of them.
- smolder 3y agoYeah, foam surrounds are the cheapo stuff, neoprene lasts.
