Reattach the backing securely using 3M Super 77 or similar spray adhesive, sprayed onto the back of the metal grille (spray only a minimal amount onto the backing because otherwise the backing could tend to pick up dust from the air). If the backing is damaged in the removal process it will be necessary to order a replacement - either from JBL or from a third-party foam or grille cloth provider -- if indeed a backing is required for your application. Painting Weather Resistant AE and PD Models Most AE and PD models are available in two levels of weather resistant models. Weather resistant models are signified by a -WRC or -WRX suffix to the standard product model. Important: Simply painting a non-weather-resistant speaker is NOT acceptable protection for outdoor use. Internal Protection - The WRC and WRX models are constructed with necessary additional internal protection, including: full internal surface sealant to protect the wood from the inside, special corrosionresistant internal hardware, weather protection for the cones, protective coating for the metal parts on the back of the drivers, protective coating on crossover network, waterproof glues and special grille backing that breaks up driving rain. For speakers that will be used outdoors, always start with a WRC (DuraFlex finish) or WRX (fiberglass finish) as the base model to insure proper construction for outdoor use. Painting WRC Enclosures -- Models with the WRC-level of weather resistant are coated with an extrathick DuraFlex finish. Follow the same instructions in the sections above, which apply to all models with DuraFlex finish. Painting WRX Enclosures - WRX-level weather resistant models have a fiberglass finish. Follow standard procedures for painting over fiberglass. For further information on weather resistant JBL models and the technical definition of the -WRC and -WRX process go to the "WEATHER RESISTANT Configurations for AE and PD Series" section available in this guide and also online at the JBL Professional Website: www.jblpro.com. 31
