Here is an overview for my refoaming the blown out speakers.
Door panel:

• Remove bottom screws under rubber strip
• Remove cover and screw under door handle
• Remove screw under door controls
• Remove screw under the armrest

Refoaming:

• Lift off the tall foam ring around the speaker itself
• Flip over the tall ring and scrape then sand till the whole underside is grey and no glue left
• Use a NEW razor in a utility knife and trim off the outer speaker be careful not to cut the cone- go slow
• Clean the ring where the new foam will sit - this is super critical or the glue will lift off later
• Get GOOF OFF/ toothbrush / stubby flat screwdriver/rag/metal dish/cut of a can for Goof Off
• Brush the goof off on the glue and spin the speaker- then repeat the other way
• Tip up the speaker a bit and run the stubby screwdriver along the ring working off the glue
• Then scrape the glue in the other direction
• Wipe clean
• Repeat! brush glue in both directions / scrape in both directions / wipe clean-I think it was 5 times I repeated
• Once you are just scraping up the black plastic - it should be clean
• I used Rubbing alcohol for a final wipe down
• **I guess we cant do 'shimming' or that sort of thing for re-centering these speakers
• I evenly painted the glue on the foam's inner ring and layed it on the speaker very gently
• The magnetic round trays from harbor freight fit perfectly to keep light pressure while it dries!
• Later I pushed the cone a couple times to flex the cone then painted the outer part of the foam ring
• Lastly I re-glued the big outer gasket ring

Will follow up after its been a couple weeks - fingers crossed!

 

Next time just pick up some aftermarket replacements. Less money, less hassle, better sounding speakers when you’re done

 

Nice work OP - I also am planning to do my front speaker surrounds in the near future.

I had tackled the subwoofer - not cutting the deck - and for alignment you have good advice to glue to the cone first.

For my woofer, I played some sine waves / music at various volume to ensure the cone was centered. This worked well and resulted in no weird noises in the speaker.

I think it makes sense to repair the speakers vs replacement - just given the sensitivity of the stock speakers appears to be pretty good, and aftermarket may yield lesser output compared to the stock ones. Just food for thought, there are a lot of aftermarket options but they are usually tailored for higher wattages, making for less sensitivity compared to stock ones designed with lower RMS wattage in mind.

Kudos

 

Yes I do agree if you can keep things OEM, its not a bad idea. ( I just did struts) And for $14 both front speakers are done. I am redoing my sub too- just due to age. I think if you can find a bowl to rest on that inner lip. You can add a crescent wrench or something, just to let it flex down a bit while drying. I would guess that it allows the foam to have good travel when it flexes, if it dries/sets up pre-loaded.

But really I have no clue :-)
