My truck was broken into and all stuff stolen except speakers:verymad:, they tried but i guess sub box was to heavy for crack heads, but the did get the box off screws and manage to drop the speaker on screw, so i now have a pen size puncture hole in one of two the subs, will this effect sound? I have no way of testing till i buy new amp, should i recone or just buy new one, they sell for 299 on ebay. any help greatly appreciated.

Yeah silicone or tape from the underside of the surround will work fine

Even with the puncture it should not affect performance in any way, but it's always better to seal it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Im not familiar with those subs, but Im guessing that's just a full-cone sized dustcap and the actual cone underneath hasn't been punctured anyway. Someone correct me if Im wrong.
