I wish I new about that before I cut mine.

How do I order a new diaphragm John?

I also fine that when I use it with EVA Foam that the foam gets deformed from the pressure exerted by the diaphragm. Has anyone else had this problem?

Nice video!

Chester

Chester

Give us a call about the diaphragm 512-858-7742

It sounds like it is too tight on the EVA. However, EVA is pretty resilient and should bounce back into shape easily.

Great video John. Very helpful, I was wondering if you made a larger diameter diaphragm but now see how easy it is to make it.


Chester

Try wrapping the EVA several times around with 1 inch blue painters tape first. It will eliminate the rings in the EVA made by the diaphragm
