Bad luck with the E8's

The glue on multiple speakers has come off...

The glue that holds the spider to the basket.

I have my subsonic filter set to around 30hz, and the speakers were getting around 180 watts RMS max

5-minute epoxy from Lowes or Wal-mart will fix that up for you.

In your IB alignment the mechanical power handling is substantially reduced - about half of the thermal RMS.

PS: You can do it if you want, or if you aren't comfortable I can do it.

How should I prep the surface, and will that epoxy be strong enough, or should I get something better.

I guess I will try sealing the enclosure while I have all the speakers out...again.

5-minute epoxy is stronger than the factory glue - when I assembled the prototypes by hand using the epoxy it didn't come off with an 800-watt burp.

You really don't need to do much of anything for prep except get a bead around the landing and let it rest on top and dry. It is difficult to get it out of alignment as well - the surround is going to want to keep it centered.

Sealing it off will bring the mechanical power handling back up for you.
