Subwoofer cone is seperated from surround on top quarter for about 4 inches.... wondering if anyone knows how to repair this or could suggest some sort of amazing adhesive that will hold up under the movement of an Alpine Type R....?

tech talk?

9/11/2006 5:29:28 PM

eh- i debated on where to post but kind of figured since it is "car audio" that i may get a better response here than with the techys

if its minor you can repair them w/ nail polish

nm, probably not on a big sub

9/11/2006 5:32:38 PM

^^yeah- they will fix it if you ship it out to Pheonix with no contract-lol

use cyanoacrilate glue of some sort if you want to be a nig about it. aka krazy glue

9/11/2006 5:52:42 PM

i wish there was a way for me to "not be a nig about it" but thus far I have found no one localy that will repair this- do ya think crazy glue will really hold it with the rediculous amount of movement on the sub? prolly gonna sound like shit...

i am not a speaker repair pro, you could look on a car audio board see if anyone knows better, but that CA shit is the next strongest thing to epoxy. im pretty sure thats what they use in model airplanes and shit. if it don't hold, then i dont know what other widely used adhesive will

9/11/2006 5:58:48 PM

what about something silicone based?

9/11/2006 6:21:09 PM

i know you can buy a surround repair kit. call some audio shops around here and see if anyone sells it.

i used contact cement on one when my sister put a schoolbook through it, had no problems after that.

plumbers goop... it will hold for a good while

9/11/2006 7:16:12 PM

Goop is good.

You can thin it out some too with toluene or xylene to help it flow into the tear.

If you are feeling particularly thorough you could also lay a strip of some light fiberglass cloth (like 3/4 oz) across the tear after the first brushing of thinned goop, then brush some more goop on. The fiberglass will be invisible once its empregnated with goop.
