I'm really worried about my head unit!!!

[bass_master 10+ year member]

I bought some preety cheap sound gear the other day which consists of 2x 6.5" subs, 2x 1" tweeters, some 4" two ways and a pair of 3-way crossovers. I already had a pair of 6.5" JBL's and the whole system runs of the headunit which is a 4x40W Philips. The headunit got really hot while i was testing it all out which I didn't think was doing it a lot of good. Does this mean i should get a amp? Also i think one of the subs has a rip in the membrain, is there a way of fixing this? Any help on this would be great. Thanks

yea your asking the little AMP to do to much. You either need to remove some speakers or get some AMPS

ok, thanks. I thought that's what I would have to do. Any ideas about the rip in the speaker membrain?

If you get it replaced or use slicone and some paper. Just wipe the silicone on the rip then stick the paper on it then cover with one more layer of silicone. Like patching a wall.

cool!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Can I just use ordinary paper or should I use tougher stuff? Can the silicon gel be bought from local hardwhere store or is it special stuff? Does the paper get stuck on the front or back of the speaker? Should I repeat the process on the other speaker so that there is no difference in sound? Sorry about all the questions! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Your help has been greatly appreciated.

hey man it's just a fix. not like new. yea note book paper. rub the silicone on the hole put a tiny paper patch for the next silicone layer to bond an cover the hole. The cover with the second layer of silicone. Clear silicone caulk from your hardware store.
