Ok, I've managed to scrounge up 4 Infinity 652i speakers for my Golf. The problem is that one of them has a crack in the cone.

I've heard of people suggesting that silicone can easily fix a cracked cone. If so, is there anywhere that I might find detailed instructions on how to do this? What brands of silicone do people prefer and where do you get the stuff?

Thanks.

Silicone is too heavy. Run a light bead of medium thickness CA on the crack and let it cure.

Medium thickness CA - Could you tell me what that is and where I'd find it?

That's a great link JeepBeats. I'm assuming I want the 'Hot Stuff' brand?
