I have 4 10" woofers that need re-foaming. I found a place in Auckland but I would prefer somebody in Wellington. There used to be a hifi shop on Jackson Street which sold used kit and the owner told me once he did re-foaming but that seems to have gone now.

 

Anybody know of any other places I could check out?

 

I have found kits online but I am loathe to do it myself - looks fiddly.

 

 

 

Thanks

Thanks

 

Cowan Audio looks like a good bet. Might save me having to ship the woofers to Auckland.

They were velodyne subs, I took them in expecting to pay but he found that they were still under warranty (5 years I think) so got them repaired for free which was a bonus
