I need help on how to fix my torn surround. Can I get a replacement from Fi and repair it myself or do I have to send it in? Is there a proven way to fix a tear in a foam surround other than shoe goo? Also, can you determine the options a sub has without tearing the speaker apart? Thanx guys.

No it isn't separated from the cone. My friend tore it lifting it up and he says his finger slipped cuz it was heavier than he expected. The tear is about 3/4" up from the cone and about 1" wide running parallel with the cone/surround seam.

Hi folks, new poster but old owner of a q12 sub. I love the driver but I can't use it right now because my bonehead buddy tore the surround with his finger lifting the sub up one day. There's a 1" horizontal tear in the surround now and I'd like to know if I can repair it or if I have to send it in for a recone. Also, it's an older dual stack motor, is there a way to figure out the options on it without tearing it apart? Thanx for any help.

As a side note, are they that desirable? Does the double stacked magnet make a difference?

Haha, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it first. I'm a noon when it comes to driver building or repair. Amps, that's simple.

Yes I agree, I just hate the idea I spending the money on the shipping. Friggin sub weighs 50 pounds boxed up.

Also, any ideas on determining the options it has? I can't remember what I ordered, haha.

I don't like the idea of shoe goo. I'm more into the idea of replacing the actual surround. Can you get a new surround from Fi?
