Tried to call Ron McGee at Jackson Speaker Service but his number id disconnected. Does anybody know if he's still in business ?
Does anybody have a good source for re-conning 4X10 E Body dash speakers as well as the 3" out board dash speakers ?

Alan, I mentioned these guys on another post. I don't know if they recone but it may be worth giving them a call. The owner seems pretty down to Earth when I spoke with him before.

Yea I checked out their website earlier and found this quote "Re-cone speakers: Many people call and ask if we can re-cone their original speaker. Sorry, but the answer is no" So I figured that was pretty straight forward. :dunno:

Alan,
I just found a guy in CA. I sent him a rear challenger speaker to recone. Tracking said he got it on a Saturday and that next Monday I got a call that it was done. I have not seen it yet waiting to get to my Garage.

Alan, is there an update to this post? Did you get your speakers reconed? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Who did you end up going with and can you share the price for what a pair cost to be redone?

I went with this guy http://jvrestorations.com/  I think they were around $60-$70 each, not sure because he gave me a bulk discount, plus I gave him a bunch of cores outboard speakers I had....another three sets...

Here's what the small ones look like restored: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-car-audio-gps/oakville-halton-region/cuda-challenger-dash-speakers-factory/1447855669?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
