Silicone?

Did you use silicone to repair a woofer such as the cone or the dustcap? Silicone is not a reliable adhesive for speakers. Goop is excellent for repairing ripped cones or torn/cracked surrounds. That is why silicone is never used in the manufacture of speakers.

If you used silicone for some other purpose then fine. I just wanted stop you from damaging your woofers.
