My 12" sub is making a noise when loading more than 100 RMS because the glue under the rubber part is not stuck well. I guess because of the heat of the summer its getting off. Can i reglue it or else i must throw the sub away ? i have only 1" which is not glued well... What type of glue must i use for the sub ?? and will it work well ???? 10x

Just a joke. sounds like a good sub..how old is it? I really don't know how good it will be after being glued back together. Whenever it has happened to me I have just replaced it. But it would be up to you. You could try some glue though. go to

Or go to google and type in speaker glue. hope that helps...

Fingernail polish works well. Use that to bond the sub. Info courtesy of Glasswolf.

Yea use fingernail polish if you want to keep the sub and use it. But if I were you I would sell it and get something else of higher quality.

What kind of box do you have it in. Jusr use the fingernail polish between the cone and the surround were it is puling apart. If you hear rattling then that means that the coils inside the sub are unraveling which is not a good thing. Sell that sub and get something different before you blow it.

Yes, the sun and heat will cause wear on surrounds. Also damp conditions will kill surrounds, I usually put some good Armor All or similar product on the surrounds whenever I detail my car to keep them in good shape. They're just like tires, and can wear out over time.

Just regular Armor All, that's what I meant that I use it for, the surrounds, nothing else. Don't put the stuff on the cone or anything like that. This is for rubber surrounds only, by the way. You really can't do anything for foam.

MMM people i went to repair the sub with the nailpolish and i found that not the rubber is causing the rattling but one of the Blue Spikes which is in the missle of the sub. Its made of plastic i guess. How can i arrange it ???
