[QUOTE="BenH, post: 8864882, member: 690429"] Ok, so when I say the cone doesn't shift around I suppose that isn't technically true, while it moves up and down freely, any side-to-side movement is probably no more than a few thousands of an inch...if that. While I saw some tutorials about doing shims for general speaker repair, none of the videos I found that discuss repairing car speakers like this, nor the instructions sent from the people I bought the repair kit from mention any need to shim. Here are some example videos: [MEDIA=youtube]Kmix2uyZ_Mc[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]txOp_jZN-H8[/MEDIA] Now I did find another video just searching here where he appears to do a shim on a car speaker: [MEDIA=youtube]jwcfP5pKeek[/MEDIA] His speaker doesn't look exactly like mine...he rips off the piece covering the voice coil and apparently his repair kit came with another replacement cap to put on top of mine did not. This is what I ordered: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.simplyspeakers.com/toyota-lexus-speaker-rubber-edge-repair-kit-rsk-6x9.html[/URL] And the instructions came with no mention of having to line anything up with shims. So I just want to be sure that you are saying that if I refoamed it without shims, it is entirely possible that the vibration I am still getting is because I didn't shim when I did it? If that is the case, it may be worth me trying my hand at it one more time as the cost and all issues from replacing would be much less if I can do this. thanks [/QUOTE]
