Hi I recently acquired two 20-30 years old BOSE Interaudio 3000 XL speakers and a Marantz PM310 amp with them. I'm not exactly a BOSE fan/sheep but **** they sound good. The sound is perfect to me, I'm real happy with them. The amp, while very old, works PERFECT which surprised me BUT. One of the speakers has issues. Very basically it crackles when playing some bass/sub-bass frequencies (I assume), starting at pretty low volumes. Very annoying. Not all bass filled tunes will do it and you'd never hear it playing rock but for a dnb lover it's quite problematic. http://www.hifiengine.com/files/images/Bose_Interaudio_3000_XL_%20(2).jpg Here's an idea of what they look like. I took the front cover off mine too and it's clear the sound comes from the big lower woofer. It seems to me the sound happens because the woofer vibrates against something inside the speaker. The foam all around the woofers is completely torn off/worn off. Could that be it? (In any case I am going to order new foam but I doubt that's it personally as they both don't have it anymore and the other speaker never has a fault) Any ideas? Should I just take them apart and see if something is misplaced/broken and is causing the noise when vibrating? I'm not computer ******** and could take them apart etc. myself but am no audio system expert at all... Thanks to anyone willing to try and help

Thank you very much BIGBERNARD. I've been trying to answer BigH for 5 minutes with like 10 varations of a 2 sentence post with no success there's a big problem with this forum's spam filter...

Hopefully this will go through...

There knackered and need refoaming. You need to disassemble the driver and check that the voice coil is still in good shap before proceding to have this done though. You can buy foam kits such as this (just a reference, not necessarily the ones for your speakers) which come with everything you need to do it but, I wouldn't recommend a novice doing it.
