Surround repair....

[Shogen 325]

So I think this has been asked before but I'm not sure my search worked well enough just found 4sale stuff with it mentioned...

 

My Xcon was in extra awesome condition.... Found out that today my father was moving stuff in their garage and boom he calls me to say he thinks he hit it with a piece of plywood he was moving ... 

 

There is now a puncture/tear about 1/3 of an inch maybe less.... What can I use to fix it/glue it? I know I don't want to "melt" the surround material with normal glue but what should I be using? The subwoofer won't see any action for a while so cure time is no issue..... Let me know..

 

 

Sad that this fcking subwoofer was sitting in that garage 8-9 months or more with no issues... he moved the box from the original corner I had it in which didn't expose the subwoofer to anything but a wall AND I put wooden blocks at the base to keep it from touching the wall .... FML!!!!!

 

 

Thanks for any and all help fellas!!!

Also, should I try to "spread" the tear a little to make sure glue gets in the tear?

[ricksi30 923]

Just patch the front and back, I wouldn't risk making it worse.

[ricksi30 923]

It should fill in the tear just fine without having to spread it open.

[Shogen 325]

I didn't mean pull it apart.... put yea I'll take out the subwoofer and see if it even punctured all the way through, couldn't tell ...

that e6000 is some good stuff, just used it for my recones.

 

hate the metal tube though because it will eventually get a hole in it lol

Shogen or anyone else, what is the surround made of?

I ask because I have an old eclipse with, I believe, a polyether surround that has some tears in it.

I have some Shoe Goo, should I try it and how long do these repairs typically last?

 

Haven't been on in a while. What happened to the spell checker?

[Shogen 325]

soooo... the puncture never went through the surround.... it was a surface "wound" ... lol.... still put the glue in the scratch

Just put some on the front tear and behind it. Let it dry over night or a couple of days if your worried.

AMAZING GOOPED my 18zcon 8months later solid as a rock!

now to make a ported box for my Xcon and re-do the false floor with thicker MDF.... 

[Shogen 325]

yo! so does anybody know whether I'd need a new basket if I recone my Xcon from 15" to 12"???  I would assume yes, but doesn't hurt to ask and be sure... Thanks everybody!
