Hey everyone, i am curious to know if anyone here has the specs on the front footwell woofers for the Bang and Olufsen system in the 2011 Rapide? My passenger front is completely blown, somehow overnight it ripped a 1/2 inch hole in the cone. What is the exact size and impedance for this speaker? Im looking into better, aftermarket replacements to fit into the housing. I like the B&O system but below 150 Hz the sound is totally missing, so i would like to do some bass upgrades also. So i guess, while im at it, does anyone know where/ how to remove the covering for the stock subwoofer? I will probably take the signal from that for an aftermarket sub, but I can't seem to be able to get the carpet panel off. Thank you!

 

Anyone? I can measure the size, i just dont know the impedance.

 

You can measure the impedance of the other side speaker with a multimeter.

 

A bit late... but incase it comes handy for anyone else.
Wiring Diagram states 8 Ohm... which I assume is impedance (not resistance).
Foam surrounds on the ones in the rear in my car have disintegrated so I'm also looking for replacements if anyone has recommendations?

 

Most stereo repair places should be able to rebuild a loudspeaker. No need to buy replacements.

 

Parts Express has DIY re-foam kits. I have bought plenty of things over the years from replacement drivers, amps and misc. Electronics. I recently replaced the foam surround on a home subwoofer 15" passive instead of replacing it for $200.

 

When working on my CEM yesterday, I noticed the foam on the passenger side footwell speaker was almost gone.
I removed the speaker, cleaned the foam, and ordered some refoam kit.
It should arrive on Monday.
First time I am doing this so I am curious about the result...

 

I have since that post sourced rubber surrounds for front center Rapide speakers and it turned out fine. Rubber surround will last longer. Usually they sound blown out and rattling when just a small amount of foam comes apart. Did you purchase a DIY kit? What adhesive are you planning on using?

After trying to source any driver that matched the 6 screw pattern and fit in the box it was very limited. Repair is fairly straight forward, clean as much foam as possible apply adhesive to speaker cone edge and outter basket and center as close as possible as the adhesive cures lightly press cone a few mm inward and release to make sure it's aligned with the coil.
I use E6000 clear adhesive. Do not use it unless your outside!

 

I got the foam repair kit,and I am going to use E6000.
Arriving tomorrow, I'll keep you posted.
