Damaged Sub

[Mr.Ronin_2U]

Hey fellas,I recently bought 2 10" subs and the amp fell off the box and hit one of them,which put a little rip in the rubber part(or whatever it is) that surrounds the cone and also put a small crack in the cone it's self.My question is is the sub done,it still sounds alright but is this future problems waiting to happen.Thanks in advance for the help.

In technicality, it might be leaking. You can get a recone, or just patch it up.

meh, use them till they brake and start to sound terrible, than actually buy a subwoofer.

hey that happened to my subs as well. my amp was attached to the back of my seats. and my subs were facing the cabin. and my amp fell off and made a gash on both of my subs surrounds.

how do i fix these? but i mean i dont think these gashes would create a big noticeable difference in sound would it?

Silicone will help it seal and hold the cracked or torn surround together, put a bead on both sides of the surround (under the cone and on it), and let it dry. If you just let it play like that (no silicone, just open tear), I'd imagine after awhile the air pressure would tear it more until the whole surround goes with it.

pretty subs = no bueno. some of the greatest subs are ugly as feck

edit: once you get into car audio though, those ugly subs become soo sexy
