[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8658813, member: 614752"] Springfield Speaker repair would be the only place that might have those parts. If you can't get true OEM parts your subs will not be matched and you'd need to do both. Painting may or may not work. Again, are the two color cones identical? Mass shape size, and stiffness of surround as each other? If they're not this may not work properly. You may be able to gently pry off the dustcap with an exacto knife. Hit or miss if it'll come off intact largely depending on luck and what kind of glue they use. As far as spider and coil it's incredibly unlikely you'll be getting just the cone/surround off without losing those too. Dunno about Bob Smith, but I use a thick CA glue. Pretty much any thick CA glue should work. I have had poor luck getting it to stick dustcaps so I use AMAZING GOOP glue for dustcaps, though I know some guys that can get CA to hold them no problem. Plenty of ways to easily patch a hole in a cone or surround though so just putting a band-aid on it and dealing with the looks would be my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
