1. Remove speakers from the cabinet.
2. Remove any large pieces of remaining foam by simply pulling them away from the cone and frame. If there is a gasket on top of the old foam, remove it with a utility knife and retain for reuse.
3. Scrape all remaining foam and glue from the frame with the utility knife or similar scraping instrument. Soften the glue and foam using rubbing alcohol or paint thinner. Scrape thoroughly and try to get as much residue removed as possible.
4. Perform a final check to ensure the foam ring will fit properly. Variances of 1/8" or less are within tolerances. If the outer lip of the foam ring is too large for the frame you may trim the outer diameter back as needed.
5. Apply a bead of glue to the flat lip on the outer diameter of the speaker cone, not the foam.
