Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3857 Registered: Mar-06 | I had booked time on a meter today to tune my sub up for a comp this weekend, So I put together a cd of tones and BM songs to have ready. So im running thru the test tones, at mid volume or so, and the sub sounds kinda funny. So I check it out and find this. Never bothered to go get metered after finding this. Kinda pointless. Anyway. I see 3 options. Sell as damaged, refoam, replace. And I was planning on getting another one of them soon too. but now Im unsure.        |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3858 Registered: Mar-06 | Well, Im still weighing my options. BTW, I have an "in" at JL so Im gonna try and work that angle first. Ive also requsted foam relpacement price from Speaker Works, so it will be a while before I can make an informed descision. Lastly, this may be easily repaired just by glueing the foam back down, as it came away clean. Anybody know what type of glue is used on these and where it can be bought? Part express does not list it, as far as I can find. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3867 Registered: Mar-06 | Well, this is kinda how its ripped. So glueing it would be next to impossible. I really need to find a re foam, or something else.  |

Silver Member Username: Wolf_houndPhoenix, AZ Post Number: 619 Registered: Sep-05 | i repaired an old skool w6 with silicone doesn't work well with foam. After like about 2 weeks it just came apart again. Silicone works great with rubber surrounds though i repaired my sub and its still going strong after a year of daily beating. |

Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBC Canada Post Number: 256 Registered: Apr-04 | try goop with drywall tape under the surround, that might work very well. It works very well with lexan and rc bodies. give it a shot u might just luck out. |

Silver Member Username: Purplehase_bongBC Canada Post Number: 257 Registered: Apr-04 | encase ur woundering wat goop is, its consistancy is like hot glue but stronger |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4985 Registered: Nov-05 | ive repaired subs with silicone that had foam surrounds, no probs.. just have to make sure its a clean surface and allowed proper dry time.. my experience won't always be the same as someone elses tho |
