Hi folks,
I took the good advice of you folks and ordered some new foam surrounds for my old KLH 12" woofers. They should be here next week.
Now I am wondering what the black tar-like stuff is that is painted on the cone of one of my woofers but not the other? I am sure it is intended to dampen unwanted harmonics in the cone itself and I would like both speakers to match acoustically as well as visually. You can actually hear about 1/2 tonal pitch difference between the two woofers just by tapping on each with a finger. Is this black goop available to paint on? I was thinking that roof patch asphalt emulsion diluted with paint thinner might work as well as anything.... I dunno though.
