Last nite i was finally makin the lower door panels for the 6.25 i bought not too long ago... i started to put everything back to gether and wouldnt u know it, i had to put the drill bit thru the foam ring. i swear there was silence around the world for 2 seconds... words could not, decribe how mad i was. so i finish what i started and go for a drive and well the speaker sounds okay still after the abuse i put it thru. now heres the Q for whom ever... what did u do to repair this kind of booboo? im thinkin of using silicon or even rubber cement.

 

nail polish.

 

I did the same exact thing except instead of a drill bit I punctured the surround with one of the studs sticking out from the back of the dash that hold the speaker in place. I used a light layer of gasket maker $hit that comes in a tube. Its a little flexible when cured, so it worked well.

 

i have used rubber cement and electrical tape. its rubbery. it was the only thing i had in the house and it worked great and still holds to this day and, im sure it will hold for many more years to come. it also allows for movement as well.

the reason i fixed a speakers surround was because i bought some paradigm monitor 7's at a local pawn shop for 100 dollars taxes in. and fixed the surrounds and they have been working great ever since. did this 2-3 years ago.

 

Any good sealent that stays very flexable will work. 5 minute epoxy works real well as does any outdoor silicone. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

clear silicone has always been my fav.

 

I've had good luck using goop It's strong,gooey, paintable ect.

 

black urethane windsheild adhesive,works to glue anything together,except for polyethelene. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
