Best way to fix a speaker surround

What is a good product to use to re-glue a speaker surround in some areas.

Has it lifted or is it punctured??

In either case I have always used GOOP. Purple squeeze tube you can get at Crappy Tire. Shoe Goo is also the same.

If it is lifted be sure to rough up the area on the basket so the glue has something to bite into. and leave it overnight to harden.

It has lifted from the screws, Seems they pulled the surround...

Just on one speaker though.

if its just the outer-ring/gasket area and not the cone you could just use PL Premium. A bit overkill but rest assured that it'll never let go. It'll be long gone and rotten before PL lets go. xD

I'll try that, It must be safe for rubber? These are expensive speakers and I don't want to ruin them

Yep. Just read the tubes until you find one that has a high value with rubber/foam it will be safe to use.

Although I'm fairly certain all types of PL are non-corrosive. It's construction grade so it has an absurd amount of uses so if it's eating the stuff it's bonding that'd be extremely counter productive.

if they are expensive speakers, send them back. i'm sure morel will be good about warranty, and Rob already said he'd help you out.

are you trying to contact morel yourself?

try going through the dealer you bought them off of. im sure he would have better luck and know the right people to call.
