P660 torn surround

Hey so i pulled these off my car the other day to find they are torn up, im assuming from over excursion but i was throwing 100w at them and had my HPF fairly high because from the getgo they didnt play low notes good. I emailed somic and they said it wasnt a manufacture defect and its physical damage so they cant do anything about it. They still play fine though and i only found out because as i said i took them off the other day because i sold my car

throw some gorilla tape on them..

Also these mids like to play at HPF 4K or 3K with good control on volume.

What was your LPF crossed at?

Thats what i was thinking just tape them up because like i said they still played fine,

Dont remeber what the lpf was at though, i had the amp on pure HPF though so it doeant matter no?

by any chance, did u have water getting into your doors? Maybe they got wet and that,combined with the really hot temperature cause them to get brittle and result in this...just a thought

Dunno if you can get those surrounds off, but a buddy of mine had good results replacing the surrounds on his speakers with a kit from here Speaker Repair Foam Edge Kits - New-Edge-It Foam Repair Kits. Think it was like 20 bills for the pair and glue.

If its both, I think there might be an issue with the door panel rubbing against it. I know mines is extremely close to the door panel where i have to put a lot of foam around to keep it from touching.

That is very true didnt think of that although im sure they didnt rub, seemed like enough space when i put them. Ima put them in my girls civic now since i sold the mazda
