Has anyone heard of this before:
My speaker is coming apart, where the rubber attaches to the metal basket. I don't have a camera to show you what I mean, but basically the front rubber cone is coming apart from the round metal part of the basket.

I guess more importantly, does anyone know something that would re-attach the rubber to the metal?

(Speakers aren't under warranty anymore, but aside from this problem they are still good)

 

well besides gettign them professionally redone...automotive goop ...from canadian tire...this will stick anything to anything...you can apparetnly fix breaks in hoses on your engine with it...i have used it and it really does the trick....if you are looking for a cheap cheap fix...thats it

 

If it is under 3 years old, warranty is your friend. Send a PM to Team Shadow who works in the service dept for MB Quarts distributor in Canada. He will direct you on the best way to get this looked after. By the sounds of it your speaker is long out of warranty, I have not seen a metal basket on a MB Quart speaker in a looooong time.

 

my mb-quarts die after 90days that sent me new 5 1/4 out to replace them in about 2-3 weeks and i will not use them. thay sit in the room in a box.i now use FOCALS only !

 

For a speaker, any brand of speaker to die after 90 days screams abuse.

 

I figured out what happened to them, was abuse so to speak, put a bead of silicone between the basket and the door, and i think it melted the factory adhesive in the speakers.

My bad, but Automotive Goop from Canadian tire has fixed it very well.

Good stuff that auto goop, strong yet pliable.

 

yup yup, cheap but effective

 

Doesn't sound like a defective speaker...............sounds like a defective user.....................
