Need A Little Help With Gluing Surround Back To Cone

[MrSlaybury]

Well, this topic has probably been covered but I'm failing to find my exact answer. I have a Audiobahn AW1206Q 12" woofer that has a little separation between the foam surround and the cone. I'm 95% sure I can glue this. It's about a 4" separation.

My options for glue are no name superglue and Gorilla Glue. The Gorilla Glue seems promising, but I wanted a little help before I dove into it. I'm also curious how to effectively clamp the come to the surround during the drying process.

Any help is really appreciated. Thank you in advance!

gorilla glue works fine. alot of people use E6000. but you can use anything that isn't reactive to the surrounds.

Ok, I figured it would be alright, after researching it a little. Thanks for the answer!

if you use gorilla glue make sure you clamp it because the glue is going to expand and won't bind good. also wet each surface to.

Worked out a DIY cone to surround clamping system hahaha. It's the worst looking thing ever, but I have pressure up on the cone and even weight pressing down around the surround. If this doesn't work, I'll have to really find out what others have used to clamp the inner edge of the surround down to ththe cone. Also working on fixing a type r voice coil....

Just wanted to say the Gorilla Glue worked perfectly. Sub is hitting hard again.
