New member Username: HighonpsiOntario Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-04 | I bought a used 10" Orion Cobalt sub in a sealed box, and the outer lip has a small crack in it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/highonpsi/Sub-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/highonpsi/Sub-1.jpg It appears that the previous owner attempted to fix this, but it looks like he/she tried a very thin layer of glue and it didn't work. I tested the sub with a home receiver (its only about 70-100 watts) and the sub worked very well, but air was coming out of the small crack. What can be used to repair this so that it won't leak out air, and where can I buy this stuff? The sub is a single voice coil, 400 rms 4 OHMS, what would be a good amp that you guys would recommend for this sub? I keep finding ones that only have 250 watts rms, and some that have way too much and are very pricy. Thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Koz1031Monticello, In United states Post Number: 57 Registered: Jul-04 | I had a buddy that had the same prob. with one of his subs. He pulled it out of the box and put RTV on it. Kinda smeared it around a little and it worked great for him. His theory was it was a rubber type therefore would move. Anyway by the time he was done all you could see was a hairline, but there was no air escaping. |
