B & W 801 woofer damage

Hi:
I have two 801 woofers with rips in the surrounds. Can they be repaired / replaced anywhere?

Thanks,
Bob

Locally a company called Wisconsin Reconing does a superb job. I bet you can find places near you that also do this work. The surround can be fixed all by itself, or the cone can be replaced also.

Im sure any decent reconer would put new surrounds on for good price.

Will only cost about 30 bucks apiece. You do have to make sure to get the voice coil lined up properly. There's numerous places than can do this for you too.
