Morning all,

 

I used to use sound system services down here in Christchurch but they have since closed up. When I used to live in Auckland I used Axent audio once. Does anyone know a repairer in Christchurch who can fix the rubber surrounds on two x 6.5 midbass speakers?

 

I asked Pitch and Pixel down here in ChCh and they send them away to Auckland anyway, its sad that there are less and less professional repairers around now days

 

 

 

TIA

Sadly, it’s a dying industry in a throw away economy.
Can you ship to AKL yourself and deal direct??

I asked round the local hi-fi shops last year about a similar repair and they recommended someone to me who does it as a side hustle. Did a great job fixing the surrounds on a pair of bookshelf speakers. I'll pm you his number

It's not too tricky to do - I have reglued some foams on an old pair of JPW AP2s. Getting them centred is a bit fiddly mind. Depends if you want perfection vs good enough - my ears didn't really notice any difference. And the cost was $20 for the 2 from eBay...
