Mods to my JVC micro component speakers

Sheenlac should work just like the C37 lacquer on speaker cones - it's a mix of beeswax and other goo dissolved in denatured alcohol, and dies to a moderately hard and shiny surface. It also smells like varnish, wood spirits, etc., much like C37.

I've used it earlier to maintain an oxide-free sheen on aluminium surfaces also.

+1 to Sheenlac. I have applied 3 solid coats on paper cone woofers and I think 2 coats are enough. Result is, better thumping bass and a shiny look if applied neatly and evenly.

Siva sir,
What is your recommended doping for philips hi q? Also briefly explain the technique.Shall i use a paint brush?

Though the question is shot at another FM, I'm taking the liberty to comment on it.. I used a soft bristled brush to apply the coating

Vijay, I'd advise experimenting on a cheap, possibly throwaway driver first before attempting to coat the cone of an already good-sounding driver like the Hi-Q. Things don't always sound better after cone "doping" - sometimes it gets too bright and harsh.

Even that will not help, IMO. Different drivers will/should behave/respond differently. What's good for the goose may not be good for the gander

What I would advise is to ALWAYS apply very light coats. And build up the layers progressively till you are satisfied with the sound improvement. Then, STOP!!!

I guess, even though applying thin layers are better, there is a thin line between satisfaction and overdoing it. It is better to be satisfied with 2 or 3 coats as it is impossible (IMO) to reverse an unwanted extra coat.
