IC2000 is great CA glue and yes you need activator like BSi Insta-set or Zipkicker

You don't "need" activator but it makes things a lot easier.

Gotcha thanks I heard over spraying the activator can make the glue brittle so was thinking of just using the adhesive. I just need to go around the area pictured...Dry time isn't an issue it won't be run for a week or so after being applied. Also the 2nd picture below is the 2nd sub of the pair do I really need that much or can I just add a bead along the edge? The subs are going to be driven hard if that matters.

I wanted to thank you for your advice and post up the results. Thanks again for your help it's very much appreciated.

Got the CA Glue today from routerbitworld.com. I Placed the order on the 30th cost me $6 total including shipping. Super fast delivery lol wasn't expecting so fast. The application was super easy I just started at one end with the sub vertical. I squeezed a good size glob then let it roll around till it lost momentum. Then I squeezed another glob until it had gone completely around the bottom of the cone. Super easy product to use. ***** that I had to add some to a brand new product but thankfully it was not a huge deal and should be fine.

I use IC-2000. Unless you thoroughly clean out the applicator tip so you can see through it after each use, by way of unscrewing it from the bottle, prepare to need to cut it open next time. A 1/16" bit in a drill can be used if you're careful. If you try an accelerant spray it only takes a single spritz to activate the glue.
