Fairly new ID-Max 12" bit the dust... what happened and what to do?

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

I guess it has been in 4-5 months now. It still plays but not like normal. The other night it just kind of went down on output so I popped the trunk and found the surround detached. It isn't all the way around but about 4" or so on one side. What caused this? What will need to be done to fix it and who can do the work? Possible defect?

Did you buy it new with a warranty? Call/Email ID and/or place you bought it

Is that IDMAX a dual 2 or dual 4?

 

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

Bought new.

It is a D4. Any idea what caused it?

could be from the hot and cold climate changes, or over excursion, send to ID or use silicone or epoxy

first thing i would suspect is the speaker grill. the idmax has some pretty nasty excursion and if that grill isnt far enough away its gonna tear it up something nasty.

I feel ya dude....i got the same problem lmk what you do to fix it......as for me i sealed it back with some industrial grade silicone(no warranty) and put it in a ported box to relieve some pressure sealed boxes have on cones....2 months...so far so good...looks like crap though.

Usually stuff like this happens because the glue in that spot was a bit weaker and probably high excursion caused the after effect.

Would most here send it back or try some type of glue or silicone? What is the best to use?

It isn't hitting the guard.

If I had warranty I'd send it back for sure.

If it can be warranteed, I would send it back since it seems to be a manufacturing defect that many people have had problems with.
