I need to refoam a couple of 8 inch woofers but they aren't really worth
much. What I've found athttp://www.simply-speakers.com/is order of $25.

Any suggestions or if you have a couple sitting around asking to be glued. :)

Thanks.

I have used the flexible plastic foam that comes in thin sheets that
are sometimes used to protect electronics when they are shipped. It
seems to give quite satisfactory results. I glue it to the speaker
frame and to the speaker cone using regular ELmers wood glue.
Speakers have been in use for more than 5 years, and so far everything
is fine. The hard part is to find the plastic foam wrappers.
