2 DD 1500 10s . small hole in one, good amp?

[212s 10+ year member]

have 2 DD 1500 10s in large ported box. not sure of the dimensions but it was made by pwk designs.

i was unscrewing one of the subs from the box today and the drill slipped puncturing a small hole in the foam(?) piece going around the inside of the edge. how do i fix? do i need to fix this?

also what would be a good amp to run these? i think they are dvc 4 ohm but not too sure...

Pics of hole? how much do you have to spend on an amp?

a small piece of gorilla tape under the tear and go over the top of the tear with clear fingernail polish...sub should be like new...or you could use clear silicon on top but a little messier

ahh my bad guys ive been posting this on many sites and forgot to put a price. im looking to spend around 200. nothing above 250 and would rather keep it under 200. i will put up pics of the hole tomorrow but its not very big(cant fit finger through it) and its on the outside of the ring, you have to pull the foam out a little just to see it

can i just take the sub out and get to it conveniently or am i going to have to pull the sub apart and everything? im kind of a noob when it comes to stuff like this

Cadence wires are no good. The "4 gauge" is actually like 6 gauge, and is CCA.

CCA? they have the cadence amp without the wiring kit for 190 or so. and there wiring kit sure beats the hell out of the one i got for free. what about the amp though? 1000w rms at 1 ohm. i owned the same amp before but only had it hooked to some kickers(i know, you dont have to tell me) and it was awesome

also i forgot to mention. the middle of the sub where the DD logo is is bent in on one sub. to better explain it its like when you push a coke bottle in on the sides and it gets stuck. problem?

You must be buying the wrong kind then because the 8g I bought is true 8g and is also true OFC
