Speaker gasket tape

[MillerLiteScott]

What size gasket tape should I order 3/8" or 1/2"?

[RuSsMaN]

What speaker are you trying to apply it to?

[MillerLiteScott]

2B's & RTA 11t's

I just ordered a roll of 3/8" from PE. I thought about getting the 1/2" for the heck of it but didn't. The outside edge of the MW speakers will work with the 3/8" stuff no problem.

[MillerLiteScott]

I thought 3/8's was enough and 1/2" would be a little big.

Both, I've used both along with speaker sealer. I got mine from parts express.

Scott, you don't need that stuff. Believe it or not, the original gaskets do a fine job of sealing.

My PR gaskets were as thin as a piece of paper and had the sealing characteristics of a piece of paper.

I used a double layer of speaker sealer for my PRs. Those suckers wll never have an air leak. I also used the speaker sealer to close and seal of the bursted seam from the bottom brace to the bottom pedestal right front side of my cabinet. While I pulled the seam apart my wife shoved in the speaker sealer into the seam and then when I released it the seam was sealed shut.

I love that speaker sealer.

Yeah, that's the way they are suppose to be. I've removed my PR's a whole lot of times, the gaskets are paper thin, no air leaks, tons of bass.

Not to mention the risk of stripping out the screw holes when using a thick gasket.

I Dynamated the PR's and mid drivers in all my speakers tonight. So I made sure the gaskets weres placed properly when I put everything back together.

I will give them a listen tomorrow. My wife and I watching a movie right now.

Just as an FYI, the speaker sealer flattens out very, very thin and doesn't stress the screw holes like the gasket does. It just spreads and seals. Like I said above, I love that stuff.

Also, I have reused the original speaker gasket and found that works well.

I noticed that the mids sounded a bit creamier when I did mine. Also the imaging was more precise and stable.

Ah, they have something other than that thick sticky stuff, eh?
