8" Foam Speaker Repair Kit Compatible with 2000-2011 Toyota Avalon, JBL 86160-AC180, 2004-2008 Solara, Tundra, Lexus, Others, FSK-8M-Toyota (Single)

Ordered July 2023, for 2007 Toyota Solara convertible sub woofer 8” speaker with disintegrated foam surround. Two years later the replacement foam surround is still intact and sounds good. Installation was fairly smooth, just take your time and don’t rush. My sub woofer also had the fabric spider voice coil covering unattached so I was able to use the supplied adhesive for the foam surround to also reattach the spider fabric to the speaker frame. For the cost of replacing the foam speaker surround versus finding a replacement subwoofer speaker to fit the Solara convertible oddly shaped subwoofer enclosure this wins hands down. Highly recommend!!

Repaired my factory JBL speaker. Cheaper than buying another one from dealer. Product worked great. Instructions were thorough for an easy installation. Speaker sounds like new again. Would definitely buy this product again and strongly recommend it.

Fit my 2004 Avalon XLS perfectly! My specific case my speaker was so rotted out and falling apart that it was impossible to peel or remove the old material from the speaker face. Worked amazingly still works, would recommend. Very very nice bass.

When a certain bass-heavy track on my playlist would play, a rattle started occurring in the area of the driver's side rear 8-inch subwoofer of my '07 Toyota Sienna with JBL Synthesis system. I decided to buy this repair kit and give it a go. Accessing the several 10mm bolts holding the subwoofer enclosure was a bit arduous; I opted to only partially remove the paneling and so had to prop them open and snake a socket wrench with a flexible extension to get the couple of bolts not readily accessible. I have smallish hands though so it wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been. Upon removing the box I used a Torx 25 bit to remove the six screws holding the sub in place in the box, then carefully pried the speaker out and disconnected the wire clips (carefully marking the black/grey wire's terminal with a sharpie so I could reattach them correctly). One aspect that neither the Simply Speakers instructions nor video really made clear to me was a rigid plastic ring which is glued to the metal frame of the subwoofer. To access the old foam edge material I needed to carefully pry a few inches at a time around the circumference to part it from the adhesive (being careful not to crack it in the process), then carefully pull the ring away to expose the edge completely. After that it was a matter of using a razor to scrape away the old foam ring (which for 10+ years old wasn't in terrible shape, but did pull apart easily), and the adhesive lingering on the speaker cone's edge and metal frame, then cleaning the surfaces thoroughly with some 90% isopropyl alcohol. A user MrInternet69 on YouTube provided some great guidance on this part of the process. Back to the instructions that came with the kit, I applied the adhesive to the speaker cone edge and gently pressed the new foam into place and carefully worked the cone up and down to ensure there was smooth movement up and down the voice coil. I waited a little over 1 hour for the glue to dry, then applied adhesive to the area of the metal speaker frame underneath the foam and pressed the foam carefully against the metal (again ensuring unobstructed travel of the voice coil), then applied glue to the upper rim of the foam and laid the rigid plastic ring into place on top of it. I then sat the speaker upside-down on a flat surface and allowed it to cure overnight. Reassembling the speaker and paneling was about as easy as tearing it apart. There was some foam on the outer edge of the speaker's rigid plastic rim most of which had fallen away, which I decided not to replace; it didn't seem like a big deal, but if upon reassembling rattle emerges it might be a good idea to shape some foam for this rim to cushion it against the subwoofer grille attached to the paneling. In my case this appeared to be unnecessary; the track I'd experienced rattle with now produced nice, smooth bass. Compared to replacing the subwoofer with an identical one (possible relatively cleanly if you obtain one with matching impedance, I believe the JBL is 2-ohm) or with an aftermarket one (which could be a pain especially if you end up replacing the JBL Synthesis amp, which drives ALL speakers including the sub), this is a clean, inexpensive fix. As with any interior work you might also purchase some extra clips in case the old ones fall apart as you pry the paneling apart. Overall a nice, inexpensive fix.

I like the price I paid to repair my oem jbl subwoofer in my 2000 Avalon. The kit and the YouTube video are pretty much explanatory. The problem is getting the old glue and speaker surround off, once off the job is pretty easy, don’t be impatient, wait the instructed times for the glue to set. I had a great sound improvement, my old foam was completely disintegrated, a little more of the ring that peeled off from the cone came off than I wanted in one small spot, all worked out in the end, it’s been a few months and that sub works great.

Great product used to repair my subwoofer on my 09 Matrix XRS with a JBL system. Great option when replacement part in to available. No change with sound quality actually sounds alittle better.

Easy to use instructions and worked like a charm! Make sure you watch the video instructions... Paper instructions were not as clear, but the video is awesome. Lexus and toyota cars that use this speaker are prone to having problems with the seals and foam degrading over time, and this is an inexpensive fix to a costly problem! Better than replacing the whole sub! The only hard part was getting to the sub in my car, which involved taking out the back seats, but fixing the speaker itself was easy!

These are great. I've used them to repair several speakers, including a great set of Cerwin Vega from the 80's that sound just as good as they always have after the repair. But be careful - if you order the wrong size, you will just have to keep them. It is kind of easy to make a mistake on the size. I ordered the wrong size for a sub in my 20-year-old car - somehow twice. Now I have 2 of these that I will either throw away or store. These work so well when you follow instructions and I have ordered (what I hope is) the correct size and will pay for the new, correct size. Even with having to keep the wrong size, the cost is much less than a new speaker and the old one fits the car perfectly.
