[QUOTE="joetama, post: 4512775, member: 564641"] Yes the 'shimms' go inside the gap between the pole piece (metal part of the motor) and the voice coil. This assures that the gap is correctly aligned so that you don't have any rubbing. Also, after 4 years of rubbing you are going to have a lot of gunk inside the gap. You might try either canned air or an air compressor to 'blow' out the gap first. Then use masking tape to finish cleaning the gap. If the gap is really deep try attaching the tape to a note card or some other rigid thin object. Just make sure it isn't metal. CA glues does not equal super glue (if you are thinking the stuff sold at Wally's World in the small metal tubes that burns your eyes and melts things). I have had decent luck with Goop and a few other products. But, if you can get a CA glue made for loudspeakers use it. I'm sure some other people on here know where to get it. IIRC Parts Express might sell it. [/QUOTE]
