Old School OZ Audio 6 1/2

[RayBuck]

I have 4 OZ Audio 6 1/2s that I want to put in but they need new surrounds. Has anyone ever replaced them or know of some where I could find the surrounds they are rubber.

i think it would be best to just sell them to me and go buy some brand new ones... its going to be hard to find original ones, but im sure you can make them...

[RayBuck]

Your funny JK....they don't make these anymore so finding new ones would be very hard and $$$ and I know you know that Anywho I have 4 of them with tweeters and xovers and I have had them since 1994 or 1995 they were in my mazda extracab 2 in each door and 5'1/4 in kick panels with tweets powered by 2 MS 275 and 6 12w6s in the be ported into the cab powered by 2 MS 2250's. I loved the way they sounded so has anyone ever (JK) replaced the surrounds before maybe hook me up with a link or we could trade for one of your many MS 1000's you have laying around.

[RayBuck]

I just noticed you said make them...go on

If it's just the surrounds that are bad, that wouldn't be the hardest thing ever to do, but if they need a full re-cone you might as well get something else, because they wouldn't be Oz anymore.

I tell you though, this is one speaker company that I was sad to see shut down. The 250L and 300L were some of the best sounding subwoofers I ever heard. My dream system was always Phoenix Gold amps running Oz speakers and subs. I wonder what Greg Smith and John Walton (The primary forces behind Oz Audio when it was good) are doing these days?

[RayBuck]

No they just need new rubbers not a recone. I am looking for something close to what was used. They have been sitting around just dry rotting They were great sounding speakers we use to sell the shit out of them where I worked a bitch to fit in cars with out custom door panels but most of our customers that could buy them had the money to get there doors done. I would love to fix these.

I have used these kits on 10" subs. Quality seems OK.

Ahh!! I see now.. I'd say your screwed.. Eric d might be the only person to help.. I have 5 sets of brand new oz 5.25's with tweets. Superman's!!!

It seems 6.5's are the hardest to find.. I have every other OZ backed up in sets.. I only have 1 6.5 for a back up..

I did 4-6.5's / 2-8's / 6-5.25's / 6-tweets / 4-300L's and 4-solo 15's in a 96 Nissan pick up ran off of a frank and a sofa.. It's sitting in storage rite now.. I still never heard it complete...
