it hits good without a box? you said you patched the crack which im assuming means the holes? if so than of course its gonna "hit good" when its in a box.

kill your dad. use his skin to patch the hole.

lol no i patched the cracks leading to the holes and so if i get a sealed enclosed will it blow it ?

buying an oversized dustcap or maybe buyning a new sub

or just glue some plastic on it from something

i second the motion for a new sub! If you really want to salvage that thing i say try a light layer of fiberglass or if you dont have access to that a good strong paper mache recipe maybe.

agree...... man up and use NEW gear.... can always flip flop later.

try fixing it first. focus on not making it too heavy with fiberglass and all. If you have like on of those cheap plastic folders laying arond you can glue a small bit on. I mean, you can't mess it up more than it already is.
