It is a spray on, cone treatment. My paper cone speakers have been played for a while; the cone is not as rigid as it was when new and now it sounds like it. What I liked about it was that SoundGuardPro is an alcohol based co-polymer that penetrates and reinforces the cone by leaving only the co-polymer behind as a light weight bonding agent that increases cone strength. I have just tried it and I can't believe how much better my speakers sound. You should check out their information at http://www.soundguardpro.com/ and see for yourself. Mike |

Bronze Member Username: ChristopherrmPost Number: 53 Registered: Nov-05 | On a serious note, Mike C I'm assuming you bought some of this stuff so could you tell me what the name of the active chemical compound is in this stuff? I would be interested to know what it is actually doing to speakers. |
New member Username: Socal_mikeAnaheim, CA Post Number: 3 Registered: Mar-09 | It is an alcohol based copolymer that penetrates the cone and while curing it evaporates the suspension agent leaving behind the copolymers that strengthen the cone. All concrete jokes aside I tried it on my old garage speakers and then my Marshall half stack and it worked great. I love the stuff and I still have a bunch left, if and when they start to sound like worked junk again I will treat them again.
