3) Take your time and don't rush it. Glue drying takes a certain amount of time, no way to get around it.

A lot of people use different methods of making sure the voice coil doesn't rub. I just made sure to not put any preload into the foam when gluing it to the final edge. I checked this by gently pressing the voice coil in/out when setting up the final edge clamping.

Good luck and have fun, hope they sound like new when you're done.

Good advice...Thanks!
