Silver Member Username: JtownPost Number: 377 Registered: Mar-07 | most likely the mounting gasket. if that's the case, I don't know the cost, but its very easy to put on |

Post Number: 4947 Registered: Jul-06 | That is called the surround.Ouch.Depending on how badly it's ripped it can possibly be repaired using silicone.I'd recommend getting a recone though but silicone sealant may work for a while.I just wouldn't go that route personally. |

Post Number: 4949 Registered: Jul-06 | Worst comes to worst you can send it into Scott at Fi for a recone if they don't sell a surround repair kit for you.The only reason I didn't recommend going that route in the first place is because of the level of skill that it will take,Paul has a step by step thread that you could learn from and do it yourself if you can get a replacement surround.Perhaps someone could link us to it if I can't find it. |

The kit comes with two surrounds so you have a second chance should you need it. Kit is like $25 and with some time could save you a bundle. The link Rob mentioned: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/355935.html BTW, where the hell have you been? |

If you're honest it's going to be hard to sell it at a good price with the tear. Ppl are just going to be skeptical. Selling it used will knock off 30% or more from what you paid. Used and damaged you'll be luck to see 40% of your investment. Think to yourself how bad do you need the $$$? |
