I have a matts 10" sub that has a small split in the rubber surround.
The sub is still good but I have to fix the rip...what can I use to do this?

 

If you get non-toxic silicone, you should be able to patch that up without any problems (just do it on the inside so it looks better)

 

non-toxic silicone ....ok will try it and see...thanks

 

George use rubber cement it will work and stay flexable
arent u running clarion ??

 

Okay, just make sure to read the label, and make sure it say's non-toxic. Because if you get one that's toxic, it could eat your sub. (I think most are non-toxic nowa days though)

 

ideally you want something that will bite into the surround and form a permanent bond.... however, butyl rubber is inert as all **** and I don't think you will find too many adhesives that will eat into it...

Id might say 'goop' is your best bet but I generally use plain old contact cemenet...

 

Yeah, butyl is a tough one... I second the 'Goop'.

 

I would like to be using the clarion stuff but right now I am leaning towards PG simply becouse the rep for clarion is not comming through for Karl (no e-mails or calls)
the matts sub is for a customer.
