Just did something that seems to work. Anyone else tried to repair their Infinity Gold door speakers with a thin bead of RTV?
After receiving a pair of speakers off eBay that were worse sounding and torn worse than those I had, I decided to take a stab at repairing the foam baffles with a fine bead of RTV. Didn't figure I had much to loose as long as I didn't create too much bind and overheat the amplifier.
I've done three of four doors now and am very pleased with the result. (The forth is still okay as are those on the soundbar at the rear.)
I pried off the faceplate plastic ring and ran a thin bead of RTV along the torn foam, making sure I didn't miss a spot or get too much. I added a few dabs of RTV at random intervals around the ring and pressed things back together. After an overnight dry, I put the speakers back in and as far as I can tell they work fine and sound as I imagine that did when near new.
Anyone else do this and create unintended consequences that I should be alert for?
Thanks in advance.
