JBL Wool/Felt Damping Pads(2) for 375, 376, 2440, 2441, 2470, 2480, 2482 +others

Up for sale and your consideration is one (1) pair of custom made wool/felt sound damping/dampening pads for JBL and other 2" compression drivers.  These pads are 6 inches in diameter and are 3/8 inch thick.  They have adhesive backing for easy installation!  These will fit 2440, 2441, 2470, 2480, 2482, 375, and 376 models and may fit other JBL, Altec and other horn drivers with a slight modification.  These custom fit pads will replace your original old and rotting JBL urethane/cell foam pads which, by the way, are no longer available through JBL.  If you can find NOS or replacements, they are very pricey!  Mine will never deteriorate and will last forever!  They also work better at sound dampening than the JBL originals!  I have used these in my 375 compression drivers and they worked extremely well!  Replace yours now before that crumbling foam destroys your valuable diaphragms and voice coils!  Included in this sale are a pair of pads.  The housing is for demonstration purposes and is not included in this sale.  The 375 depicted in photos #11 & #12 are not mine, but will show you what the pads will look like in a 375.  I sold my 375's about 4 years ago.  Note: COLOR OF PADS MAY VARY!!!”

Please message me if you would like a different size, thickness or a custom cut.  I have three separate listings that are made for the following drivers: JBL LE85, LE175, LE100S, 2410, 2420, 2421, 2425, 2426, 2427, 2445, 2446, 2447, 2450, 2451, 2452, 2461, 2485, and 2490.  Alaska and Hawaii message me for shipping rates.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1)After taking off housing/cap and disconnecting the leads, thoroughly clean out all old rotting foam and peel out old backing material from old pad.  Be careful with the screw driver not to damage your diaphragm!

2)Use mineral spirits or lacquer thinner to remove all old glue and residue so new pad will stick.  Make sure to spend extra time cleaning out the old foam and glue!!   A small brush works well to break loose.  Be careful to not get chemicals on the outside finish of the housing, may cause damage to the finish!

3)Wash housing with dish soap and warm water to clean thoroughly and to get all chemical residues off.  Dry well.

4)Before peeling off the protective paper on your new pads, test fit and trim as necessary.  I left these a tad large so the fit would be snug.  Trim if needed.

5)Carefully peel off paper and place in position.  Press firmly and smooth over and rub entire pad to stick well.

6)If for some reason it does not stick well, a glue or adhesive can also be used.  Note: Because of the surface texture on the 2440, 2441, 2470, 2480, 2482, 375, & 376, a glue or adhesive should be used!  Clear silicone or E6000 glue both work well.

7)Reconnect leads in their proper orientation and reinstall cap/cover.

Please note:  These are not CNC made but are cut by hand and are not perfect, but are presentable.  Most were left a little large and may need trimming!  Use extreme caution when peeling off the paper, as this can be difficult to start.
