If\u003cbr\u003e\nthe magnet, frame and voice coil are still healthy, a new cone assembly brings\u003cbr\u003e\nthe speaker back to life for a fraction of the cost of a replacement – and\u003cbr\u003e\noften sounds better than the tired original.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 5 inch cone comes as a ready-to-fit assembly: a lightweight paper cone\u003cbr\u003e\nbody with the foam surround already bonded to it, waiting for your voice coil\u003cbr\u003e\nand spider.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### What You're Getting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Paper cone body**\u003cbr\u003e\nThe classic choice for a reason. Paper is light, well-damped and naturally\u003cbr\u003e\nbreaks up smoothly, which is why it still shows up in plenty of hi-fi and\u003cbr\u003e\nvintage drivers. It takes glue well and sands flat if you need to dress the\u003cbr\u003e\nedge.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Foam surround**\u003cbr\u003e\nFlexible foam edge gives the cone a long, linear throw and plenty of travel\u003cbr\u003e\ndown low. Softer than a rubber surround, so the moving mass stays down.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Ready to recone**\u003cbr\u003e\nCentre hole is open at 26.5mm to take your voice coil former, so you can glue\u003cbr\u003e\nthe coil in and align it the way you want.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n| Item | Specification |\u003cbr\u003e\n|---|---|\u003cbr\u003e\n| Nominal size | 5 inch (127mm) |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Outside diameter (OD) | 128 mm ±2mm |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Cone opening \/ inner step diameter | 115 mm ±2mm |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Depth (cone height) | 27 mm ±1mm |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Centre hole diameter | 26.5 mm ±1mm |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Cone material | Paper |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Surround material | Foam |\u003cbr\u003e\n| Application | Woofer \/ mid-bass recone and surround repair |\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n*Measure with callipers before ordering. Tolerances are listed above – a part\u003cbr\u003e\nthat reads 126 mm or 130 mm is within spec.*\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### Before You Order – Measure Twice\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n1. **OD** sits at 128mm. It must clear the frame's inner lip and the screw\u003cbr\u003e\n   holes of your basket.\u003cbr\u003e\n2. **Centre hole at 26.5mm** is the critical one. Measure your voice coil\u003cbr\u003e\n   former's outer diameter – it should be a close slip fit. Too loose and the\u003cbr\u003e\n   cone won't self-centre while the glue sets.\u003cbr\u003e\n3. **Depth 27mm** determines how the cone sits against the basket and whether\u003cbr\u003e\n   the dust cap clears the pole piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n4. If your old cone measured differently, do not force this one in.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### Fitting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n1. Remove the old cone and clean the basket and voice coil former thoroughly.\u003cbr\u003e\n2. Dry-fit the new cone to check the coil centres in the gap without rubbing.\u003cbr\u003e\n3. Apply a thin, even bead of adhesive where the foam surround meets the\u003cbr\u003e\n   frame, and around the coil former at the centre hole.\u003cbr\u003e\n4. Let it cure fully before applying any signal.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### FAQ\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Does this include a voice coil, spider or dust cap?**\u003cbr\u003e\nNo – this listing is for the paper cone with foam surround only. Check the\u003cbr\u003e\nvariant images before ordering.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Will it fit my speaker?**\u003cbr\u003e\nFit is set by dimensions, not brand. Match the OD, centre hole and depth\u003cbr\u003e\nagainst your old cone and you'll be fine.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Paper or poly – which should I choose?**\u003cbr\u003e\nPaper is lighter and better damped, and it's the original sound in most\u003cbr\u003e\nvintage drivers. If you want the driver to sound as it did, stay with paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Can I paint the cone?**\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, but keep it thin. Use a light mist coat so you don't add moving mass or\u003cbr\u003e\nstiffen the paper.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### Package Includes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- 1 × 5\" paper cone with foam surround (as selected)","brand":"DIYMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53517066273079,"sku":"CB17501-#16","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0894\/5562\/4503\/files\/57_7899e376-6e00-437b-a408-b5453ea1532c.jpg?v=1793842874","url":"https:\/\/www.diymars.com\/products\/5-inch-128mm-paper-speaker-cone-recone-part","provider":"DIYMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
