Sub sealed with caulk?

Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 740 Registered: Apr-06 | I got a sub super cheap in a trade but it was coming off on the bottom where the foam connects to the sub on the outside of the foam part of the sub. Anyway I put caulk in there and sealed it up but im wondering do you think this will work and just lose sq or will it not work at all??? Or does it depend on how good I sealed it? |

If you can, scrape it off there and use a very thin layer of speaker glue which can be found for cheap here: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=340-076 |
