HELP! Punctured diaphram

[DJItalianICE 10+ year member]

My grandpa was drilled the sub screws into the box, and ended up slipping on the drill and punctured the diaphragm on my Ascendant Audio Avalanche 15. The puncture is very minor, (less than a pinky nails worth of a slit (2 or 3 millimeters)0, but I fear that either when I pound the sub hard it will have a shitty ported effect, or the gap will just get plain bigger and bigger and my sub with be destroyed.

Can I get the sub reconed? Would that fix the damage?

Do I need to just plain buy a new sub?

What the %$^& should I do? I don't want to harp on it because my grandpa is pretty elderly and I don't wnat to hurt his feelings anymore than they already are.

I'd get a pic of it, but it's too **** small.

It looks somewhat like a drill bit started going into the sub but i caught it befre it got further, however there was a VERY small slit open ONLY if you pulled the diaphragm just a little to see it.

How would I cover it up? Crazy glue?

Diaphram?

If its the cone...silicone

if its the surround...silicone

any thing else use duct tape

you cant duct it...funk it

i think he means the surround.

Silicone sealant should do the trick.

With these thing you need to get creative.

It wont make the gap bigger when I pound the sub though?

Use a flexible sealant on both sides of the tear, it will work.

my buddys box fell over and tore the hell out of the surround and i used clear silicon caulk from home depot and it worked like a charm

alrightie thanks guys, if anyone else wants to chime in lemme know. i guess i should do a small flat soat of the silicone underneath the surround and then fill the circle shaped space on top with a nice chunk of sealent and then just use a permanent marker to make the white silicone black (budget i know). //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

what the hell is with that post?

if you could get ahold of some glue females use to glue on fake nails, smear that all over then underside of it. my cousin did that to a round solobaric 12 like 9 years ago and it's still holding up.
