and not with your man junk.

I have some ABS adapters and I have the tweeters mounted and the 6.5"s mounted and I need to seal up a few holes. What ever is used must be able to come off of the speaker and the ABS plate easily without damaging the items. Whats the best way to seal them up?

The adapters and speakers look like this:

The tweeters are angled a little bit and need filled in a bit too:

They do fit like a glove. They are just adjustable so you can change to other sizes as well.

You can see the holes to the left of the tweeter, right of the mid, and three holes on the left of the screws.

A lot of people use non hardening model clay around the baffles on their door speakers, I wonder if that would work?

black model clay

You think black Crayola Model Magic clay will work?

EDIT- Nevermind it dries.

try this: Mortite 45 Foot Gray Rope Caulk F-4

its cheap, easily reversible and available at most hardware stores.

I've used this and it seems to be a good product. after a long while it may harden but it doesn't seem to crumble or fall apart, which would be the main concern when when the sealing agent hardens.

I've used it to seal a temporary double baffle to convert a 15" to a 12" enclosure.

Though not ideal, it worked well.

Im going to the Hobby Lobby tomorrow after work to get some black, wax based, non hardening model clay. Ill seal up the adapters and have them installed Monday.
