Anyone ever refoam Bose 901's?

Check out simplyspeakers dot com. They have rebuild kits for the 901 and instructions that show how to replace without even removing the drivers!

Sogood,

Many companies sell the re-foaming kits. I myself have has good luck using a company called Simple Speakers. Their Bose 901 kit cost about $70, and has 18 foam surround. Btw replacing the foam surrounds is pretty simple, just take your time and follow instructions.

One question, when your wife found these speakers, did they have the Bose equalizer with them?

Thanks guys...I looked at the instructions and it looks pretty easy....mostly time consuming (I'm retired though). My garage is 28'x 28'...I think they will be good for what I need out there. I have an old Sansui Au-717 integrated amp, and Sansui TU-717 tuner....I listen to mostly radio out there....classic rock.

No, no EQ with them. Thats the first thing I asked my wife "did you get the eq for them?"....she didn't.

Looks like $50 for the repair kit (factory cloth surrounds), and another $100 for an EQ at E-bay....so around $200 would do it.

I'll kick it around.

I had the 901's with The Sansui 717's. I also refoamed the 901's. All of this many moons ago-good memories. The refoaming is slow but meditative. Your garage will be a fun place to hang out. Enjoy it

I had my original pair of 901 Series IIIs refoamed a few years ago including new Spiders by speaker repair man extrordinaire, Bill Legall at Miller Sound in Lansdale, Pa. And this may sound like heresy to Audiophile purists but they sound amazing. He works magic on any speaker from Accoustats, Vintage Fishers, ARs and even Infinity IRS Vs' and yes EVEN Bose speakers. If you need his phone number send me an email.
